To be brutally honest it looks like something a 5 year old pieced together :lipsrsealed:

i expect this to be in a scrap yard very soon. another mk2 suffers at the hands of a blue peter fanboy.
-
That certainly one way of ruining the dash.
-
hahah i know guys lol, im doing it proper just did it like that so i could wire it up and check if i did it right. i getting a graphics place to make me one to fit perect and pivit it on they said. look abit better. as for the hid's there not really for looks, i genually see the difference with them and had them on all my cars. i bought it as a project ha and them steelies dont do it any favours lol coz with them it does really look like a dog. but esure me this one will be very very very fast by august next year as i have booked it in in june to swt and giving them alot of money to reseal under the car full spray 4wheel drive and dropping a big lump in it :) i bought the car to restore it and thats my plans. it dont look the best but i really like my car :) so dont worry its all getting done proper ahah
-
4 wheel drive? :huh:
-
yea they have done stupid things down there and they said they would love the oppertunity to do my mk2 so im gunna let them do what they want. i bought the car wanting to do something no1 has ever done before on a mk2 and thats still my plans its gunna take me a years savings but it will be worth it hopefully

This! If you wanna AWD somthing you will be better off syncroing a MK1 :evil:

You can also get synchro mk3's in Europe. Unfortunately they were never sold here so are pretty damn rare and LHD.

i want sumin different and im sure no one has done this before

y not go for a golf r lump usin the haldex? tfsi lumps are the new one to drop in. and u could have dsg aswell

yea they have done stupid things down there and they said they would love the oppertunity to empty my bank account
I have no idea who 'swt' are, but if they're mandating your 'plans' then I have no idea that they have indeed 'done stupid things' and the you may be the next who has 'stupid things' done to him.
The modifications you're talking about will see the car on a Q-plate for it to be legal - just so as you know.
And then you'll need to IVA it.
I predict this project will successfully complete around the same time as the OP learns to spell and punctuate above the current remedial level.
Outstanding. Can someone move this to the Dub Rides section so the kwality of this project is less obvious to the casual browser?

I did think the same but that is a K20A :undecided:

I'm sure he's referring to the JDM Honda B18 motor, but it's far funnier thinking about a Rover 25 with a Volvo engine in it which was used in a howitzer gun. :grin:
That's the thing about throwing around random TLAs assuming everybody knows what you mean.
You just look like an idiot throwing about TLAs to most people.

If I'm honest it was the Volvo that came to mind first. :grin: :lipsrsealed:
There was a mention of turbo charging said motor, imagine a turbo charged howitzer!
