Bought a mk2 thoughts please..

[tech1889]

As some of you may know i posted a thread up on here a couple of weeks ago about a mk2..

Well today i went about 60 miles to go look at one and me being me (in impulse car buyer) i put a deposit down and am going to pick up on Wednesday night after work.

Just thought i would post here and ask you guys what you think, i no its not a 16v or anything fancy but i wanted it as a project car and more than likely do an engine change or similar, make it a fast road / track car.. atleast its a 3 door

This was the first mk2 i viewed or had even been in and i know what you guys feel now they are totally amazing and even though its an 8v the thing pulls very hard.

I checked all the arches as best i could and couldn't feel no rust or anything but will let you know when i pick it up as i saw it in dark today..

Its needs a bit of tidying up here and there as its not mint but thought for £900 and a full tank of petrol i cant complain..

little money for a late gti well done  if i were you i would drive it for a time and get to know all the faults and niggles the car may have before you start taking it apart its got a long mot so you shouldnt have 2 many problems. the handbrake lever looks high in the pics so there is your first job ha ha to start you off. definate bargain and good colour
