kind of regreting getting rid of my mk2 gti now even tho it cost 200
here is the story my mated bought this mk2 gti for 1600 on the way home we got too the main road near my hose when the engine went pop..... we stripped it down and the shells had spun and grinded the crank shaft so the car was left in my back street for months untouched.
i started a new job at the local garage and coming home every day too see the golf was a shame so i phoned my mate too see what he wanted he said make me an offer so me being a cheeky git offered him £60 and my laptop he said yes and i was over the moon.
next morning it was towed into the garage and was stood again while i sorced a new bottom end.
day after the engine turned up as there was a spare one from my boss's corrado gt.
full rebuild gasket kit was ordered and work was go two days later she started and i had my smile back
BUT NOT FOR LONG
took it out for a test run and was running lumpy due to a crack in the head so my old head went back on and she had a missfire sorted that with a second set of plugs
then she was a bugger to start so got a brand new starter that didnt do it so got a big battey of a transit and she was amazing the speed and the power was unreal form something so old but had too sell her as the gf was due our second child
she sold on ebay for under 1k
i miss the car so im going too get another
will get more pics ect when i
