Depends how much of a fat b@stard he is really!!!! :) but should be ok in back of a mk2 maybe a mk3 tank would be better suited though ;)

i kind meant it seems like you've only been here a week or so and you've gone from "just got a golf!!" to "just taken a grinder to it" to "just fitted a new head" to "now i want a g60" to "just got coilovers" to "now i want a 2ltr" to "i want a piper 285" to trying to fit a mk3 engine in your boot!!!

i can't keep up with you!!! :laugh: :wink:
