1986 MK2 rebuild
« on: 06 March 2008, 10:56 »
 I am going to take the plunge and restore my MK2 golf....however I am finding it very difficult to source spares (only interested in original VW parts)...I am looking for doors, and pretty much everything involved in a complete engine re-build..........I have given up trying to get parts in Dublin.so any advise would be very welcome.......Thanks

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
