next vw project
« on: 25 March 2012, 23:23 »
i'm thinking it's time for another old vw but being very indecisive of what one to get.

ually i would straight for a mk2 of some form or other but at some point over the last several years i driven every flavor ever made and owned all but one of said flavors, if one appeared for sale i probly be tempted to have a punt on it tho.

a mk2 16v  idea comes round occasionaly, buy a shed  use it as a rolling test bed and paint and tinker withit when can be arsed, then there is the rallye idea but they are fat and slow in std form  so that would need adjusting.  the idea that won't go away is a corrado

mk2 16v  or corrado  something ummmmmm

all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Buy an early Raddo 16v non runner for the price of a loaf of bread. Buy an 9a and use the kr cams, or better still an abf. As long as the bodywork is straight, your onto a winner. Corrado's are increasing in price atm too!

mmm This....


Already having a MK1, if I wanted another project I'd be tempted by a 'rado.  Becoming a rarer site now, I'd even be tempted by a VR  :lipsrsealed:

If I could have anything though, I'd probably want to stay old skool and get myself a mk1 'rocco

G60s are great, if you can justify forking out £500 a time for charger rebuilds!  :sick:

VR6s are great, if you can afford to run and insure em.

16v's are great, if your after an all rounder, and reasonable performance for little money.

8v's are great, ...........................................................................




Oh, if your after reasonable economy.    :grin:
