I bet the mk7 golf gets delayed the same as the mk6 did.

Just been looking at photos of other cars. Nothing excites me 
So went back to golf sites and was looking through photos from track days etc and spotted a mk2 and thought i like that. Guess im just old fashioned.

No, you just like taking things apart and putting them back together again. There's not much point doing that to a new car so I guess you can have a good excuse to do it to an old one.
The good thing about a mk2 is the fact they were made properly in the first place. If you can find one that has not been crashed you have an excellent starting point for a restoration project. Stick a 2.0 8v in it and you're away; can't think of anything I'd rather drive on a daily basis than that.
