what to do, which mk2 to keep
« on: 10 February 2009, 23:21 »
Right just bought a mates MK2 golf gti 8v 5dr 1992 J run out oakgreen 102K fsh originally sourced for him off the forum needing paint from vandal  scratches and still does now missing the RA's but they werent great. He has added a 4 branch full stainless induction kit lowered etc

allready have a 1991 3dr swartz black not metalic gti 16V 269K fsh and engine rebuild by ourselves car is as near mint as you can get two rust spots both on the roof and a tiny bit on bottom of drivers door also completely standard apart from sportline ra's

can only keep one car really as a toy as allready have a mk3 cab as a daily rough around the edges and a project audi s4 1991 j 120k dealer plus one owner so cant really keep two mk2's aswell!

so do I sell the 16v and get the oakgreen back to standard and resprayed or keep the 16v restore the oakgreen back to standard and sell it, so not sure any ideas.

re the mileage on the 16v if you saw the car you wouldnt believe the mileage when I was using it at the weekends over the summer most people guessed the mileage to be around 80 to 100K seeing it inside and out.

I'd have the 16v, mainly becasue its a 3door and black is my favourite colour!

Seems like a no-brainer to me. Tatty 8v or decent 16v, and it doesn't sound like you'll not make much profit by keeping the 8v, as it needs body work etc.


I would keep the 16v.

16v. Because, lets face it, 16vs are better.

thanks for the input guys kinda thinking this myself thing is the black one is so clean so worried it will get keyed when I am out in it where as oakgreens seem to blend in more specially being a 5dr and its only scratches the car is far from tatty.

I'd keep the 3 door too.

I've just sold my black 5dr 8 valve and bought a oak 3dr 16v. Much happier now :smiley:
