which one people

Two doors 16ver lowered! Sorted, but the one with 200K on it would take a 16v transplant all day long and the body is mint!
TBF your choices should be based on body these days as the golf MK2 is not getting younger so more time on the road as an engine transplant can be done in a day, whilst body work or repairs can take a very long time if you don't have the cash or the right man for that matter!

What about the 8v on DubCulture? £1250 but 5dr, looks to be completely original though...

Ok went and saw the 3 door today looks pretty mint no real rust at all. When first started it sounded abit tappy is this normal.its git the 2nd gear crunch as mist do but cimes with a recon box to fit. Just abit worried about 216k miles. Its just had belts done so should I need to worry about anything eles if body is ok

You buy old cars on the condition of the bodywork. I only touch mega clean shells myself.

All those issues are normal. Tapping on start up. 2nd gear crunch is not really a big problem and not really worth fixing imho. Leave it as it is.

3 door will hold its money in the longer time...


But Like Mr Blue has said YOU MUST buy on body condition... 200K engine is nothing to worry about - easy to fix or replace...


Bodywork is another issue... And a lot more expensive to fix...
