VW Golf MK4 - VW Golf 2001.....what to do??? - monkeyboy3

Hey,

I am in a bit of a dilemma I have owned a 1.4 VW Golf 2001 (Y) for the last 4 years and 4 months it is still in great condition, and 80,000 on the clock. I am getting a new car and always thought I'll keep the Golf as a run about for taking the dog up the hills, and for the missus whist she is off on maternity leave so she can nip to the local shops, classes and appointment etc......basically it will be hardly doing any miles.....BUT its fair to say its cost be a bit over the time I have had it and my question is to anyone out there that can help is it worth keeping? What else major can go wrong over the next 2-3 YEARS?

Work that needs down asap:-

Break Pipes front to rear
Cat Converter/down pipe
Brake pads and dics front and rear

Work it has had done:

Window wiper linkage
Clutch and Fly wheel
4 new tyres
back and middle section exhaust
