Going backwards.

Buying an older car that is not as good as what you have now.
Always better the devil you know. No matter how good a look you have at this Mk2 there is no guarantee you will find any faults that crop up in a week or so's time.

Besides I think what you have done to your Mk3 is way better that what you are proposing to swap it for.

Oh and the Mk2 does not have ABS so not as safe for your kids!

I see where your coming from but I like the older shape cars. I love the retro scene.
There is loads of mk3 Gris out there and mine ain't nufin special. It's just a mk3 with coilys. Lenso,s. And a cento front end. Just coz mine looks nice don't change the fact that that's all it is.
I have the chance to swap it for a very clean mk2 that I have always wanted. Mk3,s are cheap enough to buy and there's plenty of them. But a clean mk2 these days is rare. I have plans for this mk2. If I can make a 5 door mk3 look this god then I look forward to seeing what I can do to a mk2.

No worries mate. In the famous words of dellboy, he who dares wins lol.
Would be a shame to turn in down just to always think what If.

Main thing with the mk2 is to check very carefully for rust.
