I am not new to Veedubs as you can tell from my sig. The Mk2 is the daily runner low mileage at only 170,000 miles ;). Its an 8v and has seen some mods, its lowered on Raceland kit, the wheels in the pic are Lenzo DTM's although it spends most the time on teardrops. Engine is a second engine, the original is on the garage floor. My latest addition i would recommend for everyone - Corrado front seats, at 6ft 2 these are very useful and you almost sit on the floor.

The Mk1 is the project - 1.6Gti and is a restoration job, although its very solid and only cost me ?220 with 9 Months MOT and 3 Months tax. Its estimated to have only done 80,000 although can't be sure as the speedo stuck on 57k in about 1997. I might strip it out and hillclimb this car, I am not sure yet.

Yeah thats right R&H, I actually contacted you about the free bits that you were giving away when you broke that Mk2 last year. Before the over zealous mods on CGTI forum blocked it for advertising, which i thought was a bit crazy seeing you were asking for no money. :-\ ???

Yeah, was after a parcel shelf. Got one in the end, bought one for ?15, then went back and bought the rest of the car for ?75 ;D Funny how these things happen, go for one thing and come back with a whole load more. Incidently that car is now in bits was never intended but engine broke in the Mk2 two weeks later, also suspension and wheels are utilised. Not happy with just one bargain he then sold me the Mk1 for ?220  ;D
