Title: Spare mk2 16v
Post by: Penndubs on 04 January 2011, 18:26: Hi All

A while back i managed to kill my 16v on the track . The head went , bottom end was then shot etc etc , another 16v came along for a very low price and a solid engine so of course i got it with the intention of swapping the engines. Normaly this would be fine right ? but me being myself decided i wanted to keep the origanal so i rebuild it instead and now have a mk2 16v 91 in a good condition just sitting there.

If i sold it i would get a hell of alot more than i brought it for but while i have it im debating a project , convert to a VR6 , start a bit of golf racing ?

Any ideas of what i could do with it????? i would hate to sell it then think of a use for it and end up buying another.

So what would you do ?????
