Title: Mk2 for £12k anyone? (It might be a bit modified)
Post by: DubFan on 17 November 2012, 16:50
Very nice conversion of a Mk2 G60 Syncro with a Mk5 R32 engine conversion and TT interior (which I'm not convinced about).
Looks like good work though:

I'm going to be the first to say it, isn't the R32 a heavy lump for a mk2?  :lipsrsealed:

Yeah, but it's got 4wd so some of the power goes to the back and it adds extra weight to the back of the car too, which will help balance it out... a bit.
But yeah it's still gonna be nose heavy.

I'd like to see a Mk2 with the Golf R 2.0 TFSI engine and 4wd system in it.

Love this car and defo me! More of a noise thing but if I wanted a track weapon the tfsi 4wd would be amazing.

They have already done a mk2 tfsi but think that was fwd

Dude lives round the corner from me and it looks as good in the metal.
Was originally up for 17k.
The TT interior is out of place though IMO.

Sorry to just jib in with a coment and no real interest to purchase,
But;

Wow! What a special car. This is outstanding,
The combination of spec, and the subtle appearance and colour.
This gus got vision!

I did someting similar with a gorgous smokestone blue, K-reg sierra GT.
Didnt think it through enough, and wen it was finished i stripped it all out and turned it into a racecar!!!!
Wish i'd stuck with it like this gorgous golf.
Well built mate.
Absolutely love it
Rob
