Sorry but it is a no brainer to me you have a 8 valve in good condition, mot'd etc yet the 16v has been off the road for over a year and it is 2 years older plus no mot, yes it has been dry stored but being sat for that length of time could and will lead to lots of work.

So yes I would keep the 8v and 2.0 it.

whats gonna have gone wrong though? if anything the bushes will need changing, not a lot of work to get a better car. they will need doing on the 8v at some point anyway

you never know he might jump in the 16v and it drive perfectly. what would you do then wayne?

Seems to me like you are after a new challenge! Your 8v drives well? your happy with it? etc so its now boring cus its finished. 16v is a new project and its cheap. If the 8v is your second car or you could live without a set of wheels for a bit. i would buy the 16v! :grin:

it's all about the 16v.   put a 2ltr bottom end on it and it chould tow a bigger caravan than the 2.0 8v if thats what you want ( slappage scheme will be inplimented tho )
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
