Lol very funny.
Rite some pics of the mk2
This is how it was when I got it about 10 months ago.

It was ssooo high so it had to come down to earth a bit.
(http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg587/bamfish89/My%20mk2%20Golf/IMAG0659.jpg)
then the carb flange broke so I changed it, but the car wudent start. Turned out the dizzy was also nakered. So got one off a polo but they were a little different. The holes were it mounts were in the wrong place and had no vacume advance. So I elongated the holes and ran it a bit advanced so it work ok. This was a mistake. The headgasket then blew a week later lol. Oh how i laffed, not!. So changed the head gasket and brought a new dizzy. Problem solved! Had a small issue with the pissburg but was just a dodgy wire to the solinoid. It's been great since, but now its time for some speed.
Hears a few more pics of my car with screeth16v and ma step dads mk 1.

Cheers for lookin peeps
-
niceee :) get some decent wheels and that'll look sweet as! i love mk2s
-
I'm gonna run the wheels that are on the mk3 I like them, gonna paint them up first tho.
-
The current mk2 wheels are from a Renault 19 16v aren't they?
-
Yeah they are. I didn't put them on they came with the car.
Y would you like them? Lol
-
Honestly speaking, I'd keep the MK3 over the MK2, presumably If there's nothing wrong with the shell or engine.
-
Same, I just prefer the look of my Mk3 over my old Mk2
-
id leave the ABF in the mk3 :lipsrsealed:
-
id leave the ABF in the mk3 :lipsrsealed:
:grin:
-
well i dont wanna piss any one off but thats just not going to happen. A mk3 to me is just to big and dosent feel as chuckable as a mk2 or a mk1. They are still relly nice cars and great to look at but just not for me.
The abf is going in the mk2 weather peeps like it or not :evil: lol
If u like the mk3 then ur welcome to buy the shell and whatever bits are left on it when im done with it.
i wouldent want to scrap it if i can help it, would like to see someone do something with it...
-
Not when you rob it of its heart and soul!
Not worth anything without its ABF! :angry:
-
Oh no I'd better leave it in then, I cudent kill a person :cry: ...oh wait its a car and has no feelings! :evil:
To the scrap bin it shall go then.
-
Tbh Its your car, you can do what you like with it, But i will say one thing and that is even if you were to put the engine in the MK2, It will have power lol, But then again looking at the MK2, Its nothing special as its one of the early ones and with it being a 1.3 base model, That does not help either.
If you really want to own a MK2, Sell up and buy a GTI and then drop the engine in, Like that the car will have character and it will be appealing.
But so far the MK3 looks loads better than this particular MK2 :wink:

how dare you dis my lil 1.3 !!! :evil: lol it might be the most undersiable model but i cudent care less. by the time im done with it no one will know it was once a 1.3. it took me long enuff to save to buy this car there is no way i can afford a gti and wont be able to for a long time, but what i can do is slowely make my 1.3 into a gti rep. thaat to you my sound silly but to me thats what its all about building your own car from what you can afford to start with and do what i can over time. it will take a long time to get the car the way i want it but once finished ill be able to sit back and say i did that. the satasifaction will be fantastic alone.
i can see your point but i havent got a lot of money all i have is time and knoledge to be able to do this myself. i borrowed the money from my step dad to buy the mk3 in the first place, and im paying him back over time.
pluss this i an early model which has draw backs like left hand wipers which are a bit annoying. but im going to go mono anyway, pluss no thrid wiper hole to rot out. i brought this car aswell after seeing it is such a solid example. no rot in all the normal places, havent found any rot anywhere else and its just been mot'ed and they also found no rot. its a great base car for a conversion and im sticking with it all the way!! :grin:
-
I think you should 100% put the abf in your mk2. :cool: then save for some splits
-
Yeah nice one tweed. It's happening and soon! :grin:

:huh: It is a mk2, what the hell are you going on about, why be a thingy by putting the guys car down :rolleyes: im pretty sure its special to him.
I think the earlier ones are more interesting tbh, so I say go for it and then you can proudly own a real built not bought motor :wink:

Cheers screech. Its gonna be sweet when its done :cool:

Even I know it's a MK2, But my Point is stop messing about with a 1.3 and buy a proper thing, and I'm not trying to put him down. That's just my opinion, Simple :wink:
When I say if you want a MK2, I mean by the proper thing I.E GTI :grin:

No standard mk2 gti is better than a mk2 shell with mk3 abf and running gear I.E 288mm brakes and 5stud hubs.
A mk2 mk3 abf conversion will smash a mk2 gti 16v! :rolleyes:
Fcuk this lot bamfish!!! :grin:
-
What I want to know is he gloating? Is he a sadist?
Why come in the Mk3 Section and tell us he is ripping the heart out of a Mk3 to put in a duff ugly Mk2?
Why not post in the Mk2 Section they would love him!
And he is certainly not joining the Mk3 brigade! :evil:

Just what I was thinking... This can go on forever, some people will have different views to other and thers no point in falling out, just wish him luck and close the topic lol
-
By the looks of it he's letting us know he's braking a mk3 incase some of us need some parts.
-
This,plus I get first dibs ha :grin:
-
Yeah the only reason I started this post was to say hello and let u guys know what I'm up too so of there is any bits you need ill have some avaible soon. In stead of a cheers bud I'm being told my mk2 ant worth doing and its duff ugly. Least I've found out some of the knobs on hear and know who to avoid.
Len cheers 4 calling my car duff ugly I relli don't think Thats very nice, were all into vw's hear and surposed to support eachother in are untited passion for dubs. U sir are a disgrace to the vw community. I would never say.that about someone's pride and joy Evan if it Wasent to my taste or not the way I would have gone with it. Oh yeah and I own a mk3 so weather u like it or not I have joined the mk3 brigade but don't worri I won't be staying long and that's cuz of peeps like u and golf mk3 gti.
Thanks to all supporters who have not just slated me and as parts are avalaible I will let you know.
I think this topic shud end now and I will say good day to you all, haters and supporters.

Hold the f**k up!!
What is being said is that this Mk3 is being broken for a mk2 transplant? Ok, that's fine with me!
It's a 1.3 Mk2 at the moment? That again is ok for me!
But someone is saying to take a Mk2 GTi and gut it? The iconic GTi? which will be exactly the same as the 1.3 when both are complete? are you f**king serious?!?! What is the difference in the shell exactly??
Fcuk this lot bamfish!!! :grin:
Couldn't have said it better myself! :grin:
-
That Mk2 is duff ugly! Now if it was a GTi ........
The only thing you can really do with that is make a sleeper out of it, but it will still be ugly!

You are not one to comment on looks! :grin: :kiss:
all it needs is a new grill with the 4 lights and that is it. Colour is awesome, disagree and you have no taste!
-
I think it's going to be a awesome mk2 and you will always come in here when it starts running rough or if you have a question about about brakes.
Hopefully we can help you instead of being idiots
And just look at Lens mk3 for a laugh :grin:

Because that's where everyone looks.

And because its easier to take the p!ss on a Dub Rides thread! :grin:
If you look at mine you will see how much stick I have taken and still taking over the years!
At the end of the day its our own car and we do what we want to it and as long as we are happy with it nobody else matters.
But if you invite others opinions then you will get them! :grin:
-
In my opinion a mk2 shell is the best thing for an abf anyway. Lighter, therefore quicker accelerating, stopping and cornering so you'll most likely give a vr6 some trouble unless on the mororway :wink:
Your also very close to corsa vxr territory from go!
-
Yeah I see what ur saying Len. Gota take the ruff with the smooth lol
Corsa vxr telly I didn't think it wud be that gd out the box so to speek.
Them corsas army the best handeling cars so I know round the twistys I'd give um a gd go.
The golf handles relli well how it is now with the 1.3 I've had so many cars down the lanes to work but then they allways blast past me when we get out of the lanes on to the main road lol
-
God this is turning into a soap drama.
-
Let's not get God involved. He's got enough on his plate :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
I say fair play to him for having a plan. Who honestly can't at least appreciate a mk2 with an ABF? Go for it fella
-
