Title: Mk4 ownership coming to an end..
Post by: Dave_IOW on 01 April 2012, 16:38
So after spending the last 3 years getting my golf finally ready for the KO4 upgrade, buying thousands of pounds worth of bits, finishing the meth injection yesterday, my days in a mk4 are over today...

Insurance changed over, new car picked up tomorrow..

Funny how things can change in a 24 hour period!

ps. definately not an April fools either like Toby  :laugh:

to be honest for the small amount of conversion-usable parts from the mk4 its probably worth selling complete. Have a nice wedge to go parts shopping with :cool:

280mm brakes minimum! :grin:

With used car sales being really hard work at the moment you may be better to break it.

Seems the stretch of water between us and mainland England serves as a godsend when selling cars..

There are alot of people that go and buy cheap at auctions, clean and sell for big profits over here as people can't be bothered to jump on ferry to go and get one.

I'm sure this happens alot over there too but it seems some cars for maybe £1000 more over here because of it! Easy money  :cool:

What you want then Wes  :grin:

Probably selling a few bits but pretty much selling as a whole mate, easier to shift in one go, going to have to fund the BBS RS somehow  :laugh:

Yes but the local mk2 mafia, DH & co, have already filled my head with idea's and there's even discussion about a road trip to Germany to find a suitable donor vehicle to get a G60 supercharged lump for it..

I haven't even got it home yet!

Needs a slight bit of 'De-Chavving', but on the whole, very happy with it (bar complete lack of power  :grin:)

Yeah lol, to be honest i lost interest in the 4, got it all up and running for the madness to begin, but ko4 needs a rebuild and would have been 4 days at r-tech to get it mapped.. was still a fair few hundred quid away..

All about the power to weight ratio now  :grin:

prob best thing you could do is buy a rotten mk3 so you can fit pretty much the whole front end to the mk2 lol

I'd love the WMI but I don't think I can stretch to it unless you do buy now pay later :sad:
