Title: hello, new owner with a few q's
Post by: muthawhat on 02 November 2010, 07:18

Hi, just purchased this off a mate who needed the space..

(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd480/rpmotors100/67220_10150105340840550_519235549_7494011_4638160_n-1.jpg)

Mk2 16v.. the reason it ended up only possession is that it was so low the previous owner knocked a whole in the sumo and ran it dry!


So basically ill be doing an engine transplant and some resto work on her. Just wondered what my choices were engine wise? Thinking 20vt, but hats a pretty expensive plan of action...

VR6's are pretty cheap?! You'll be needing a sump guard then too!  :grin:

Thanks for the replies.. I did consider another 16v, but they are s very old tired engine now? Mk3 engine is also consideration.. but not that good on power? Vr6 aswell... lots to think about!

20v Turbo, raise the car as well far too low.  Will look good when fully restored, look forward to more pics. :smiley:
