Hey

I'm new to all this, however i was wondering if anyone knew where the best/cheapest place to buy an MK2 GTI (without engine due to wishing to change most aspects from under the bonnet) from in/near Birmingham. I have looked on ebay and autotrader, and have had no look.

Many thanks Dan

Mk VI Black Pearl GTD.... No Frills, replaced a Black Pearl PD150 Bora, which in turn replaced a Dragon Green VR6 which followed a Dusty Mauve MK III 8v Gti.

Most common conversion in a mk2 is a 16v ABF from a mk3.. A healthy one will give you around 160 horses + before mods.
