Well like I said was wanting to do something a bit more old skool so have taken delivery of project Mk2 today. First of all a quick pic....
As you can see is 1988 Mk2 Gti 8v, its done close to 200k and been off the road for about 3 years and has the mandatory mouses nest under the rear bench. Looks pretty rough but not as bad as you may think. Sills are mint, as are the rear inner arches and fuel filler. Looks all clean round the windscreen, bottom of the doors are like new, tailgate has little surface rust, floors all sound, strut towers all good, battery tray all good, boot floor in top condition. A bit of corrosion in the bulkhead at the usual place but nothing major
It has no brakes, a blown exhaust, few dents about it, no coolant and running on three cylinders so possible head gasket. All in all i'm happy with it. Was on one of those facebook 'items for sale' pages and was brought to my attention by a friend and was just down the road from me. The guy had bought it without having anywhere to put it so I put 150 notes in his hand for it.
Anyway thats how it sits now and will start another 'dub rides' thread once i get it over to the garage and begin working on it. In no rush as still have plenty to do on the Mk3. Let me know what you think.
