It's beautiful isn't it. I wouldn't mind buying this and spending a couple k sorting out the engine mods and then a few hundred quid on a paint correction and engine bay clean up.

Loads a history with it!

sounds like a good plan to me, id love to do it if i had any idea how to  :laugh:

i am looking for a project though and this could be the right car for the job, might pop down and take a look at it sometime just to check how mint it is and how smoothly it runs, would hate to buy my first golf then have the engine blow a week later  :rolleyes:
