Easy treble money if you know what you're doing....

true my mate bought a MK2 16V GTI, for £200 with a blown engine. I mean blown. It had a big hole in the block. And he broke it for parts and made £1200 apparantly, well that's what he says.

He got lucky coz the car had Kent cams, which he sold alone for £250. The funny thing was he didn't even know they were there. And the seller didn't know either lol.

Will be 288mm on a P AFAIK.

I think I'll be getting my 6th MK3 soon.

Put it all in a mk2, you've had 5 tugboats now have a go cart,
And 288 brakes do fit on a mk2 if you're running wide track, the smart way to go,
Personally mileage doesn't put me off at all, my abf has 156k on it an is a charm however I wouldn't be buying just the engine at that mileage that would concern me as I couldn't see it running

You have to do this right tho, I've still got doors, bonnet and boot left over from mine with all their trim and electrics loads of messers out there who pm you and then never turn up to collect

   I was hoping for that reaction lmao
All seriousness tho, I do miss my mk3 it felt a lot more solid and refined
Do miss it untill I get the mk2 on B roads
