Check for rust and that the roof is in 1 piece, not 2 or ripped. Check that its been serviced etc.
Thats my 2cents worth. Im sure the boys and girls here will fill in the blanks which i don't know about.

make sure it has 4 wheels, oh and an engine would be good too!

I'd check for rust - specially under the boot lining and the wheel arches, and with it being a cabby make sure you check for leaks in the roof - maybe take a mate and get him to sit inside while you pour some water over the top - you don't want any leaks cos it means damp and rot and could have already done a lot of damage.
get some pics up
RE: VW Golf help - ozthecoz - 28-05-07
cheer all - no pics as of yet as i havent had a good look over it - if i get it ill post pics
Anyone know what engine is supposed to be in it - how much power - any known probs etc ?
RE: VW Golf help - woody - 28-05-07
Depends on the year mate, the cabby's ran well late (up to 93). Post 82 should be a 1.8 with a 5 speed box.

Maqke sure its either got the cabby bodykit or no bumpers at all.
So even its fucked, it'll still look nice
