Title: New member, long time vwdub addict
Post by: Neo Badness on 28 November 2008, 01:39

Rot finally killed my old mk2 driver, mk3 16v keeping as donor car.

Transit van killed my polo saloon, but not me ;)

Just picked up my 3dr mk2 Oak green 16v yesterday, been after one for a while.

So begins the the resto/improvements.

looking forward to contributing to the site.

I'm a vw geek, self confessed wheel whore and hoarder of bits.



How do you upload photo's? Am I being uber dense?

2ltr bottom end eh? I've been having this discussion already on another thread.

Think I'm erring towards a rebore and rather than putting in a 9A or ABF, although I have an ABF sitting outside the house.

Wanting to keep originality

Hiya, naw, mine is an H-reg oak green 3dr, doesn't look unlike yours :grin:
In two minds as to future for it, was originally thinking keeping it looking stock as possible and going with a few tasty engine mods as I've just stepped out of a modded mk3 16v and the mk2 feels a bit weedy by comparison. Thinking of just getting basics sorted first. Then start working through the wish list and see whats feasable on the shoestring.
How about yourself?
