So let me get this right your car is the one on the strip next to the TT and from reading your old posts I think it is. You are going to break it! I would personally Ebay it to the highest bid if you can not afford to fix it. I would help out but not had a 16v engine now for years. surely can source a complete engine off ebay for £100 or so and some one must be able to help you locally to fit it. Engine into a MK2 is far easier than replacing the head and cheaper.
I would say pm me "best price" but as I stated we dont have an engine for it and after the last two mk2 gti's I have bought to restore I am banned from buying them unless I can see it in the flesh first.
I hope it is restored and not broken for bits as good ones are getting rare. Break all the horrors out there by all means but a car worthy of actually being at gti international and calander material is worth more than bean cans.
End of the day though it is your car and up to you what you do with it

Ello Ladies,

Yup the very same golf from gti robiwill.
I would probably fork out for an engine, if it had warranty and there was a reliable mechanic around here but abit stumped at the moment with redundancy etc.

I have alot of history in this car and have got almost everything replaced e.g:
Distributor, rotor
Ht leads
Waterpump
Header Tank and blue cap
Thermostat, Rad Switch, Radiator
Clutch (Sach Sports), Push rod, clutch&speedo cables
Gear Linkeage Repair, Uprated relay Shaft Bush
Starter Motor
Oil Cooler
PAS Belt and Cambelt
FK konigsport damping adjust suspension, g60 topmounts
Genuine Door Handles
Infinty Kappa front speakers
All the usual crap that goes wrong with a typical mk2!!

Some pics when cleaned


Last month some knob did key the passenger wing, surface and not deep:


Im running on g60 steelies at the mo and car aint been washed in a month, Winter look  :smiley:

i think you think about this as its a beatifull car and its defo worth keeping. it would be a shame to see this go just because of a few bent valves when it can be fixed relatively cheply its not worth getting rid of it in anger because it has failed you its still got mint bodywork ( besides the key mark ) and sounds like a great chassis too. and could u live with thinking what if ???


if in doubt go flat out

I asked for some proper pics all round the car and of the usual problem areas to be emailed when my first offer was refused. as no piccys i think the car's ether hideing some rot or its allready sold.
