Nice, but... why no GTI?!

PS, get a badged grill

[VWchapman17]

it already has a rear disc conversion, weber carb with manual choke, lowered on coilovers. very solid underneath and no sign of any rust.

so much planned for it, full restore of interior, tidy up of exterior and fresh paint, new wheels and arches(arches are cracked) bigger engine in the future. so much planned

lots of pics to be uploaded, as will need advice and help.

thanks

By the sounds of it you will be plowing money into it anyway! GTI was my first car at 19, but this is still an awesome first car. Infinitely better than a corsa or some sh!t haha, enjoy it mate.

Welcome to the MK2 club...


My son's 1st car was a MK2 (Wonder why!!) Enjoy it and mess with it as much as you want... Then you'll learn that OEM is the way. But we all have to start somewhere and what a good car to start with...


You will find all the help you need on here and no doubt some sarcasm, but take it with a pinch of salt... It's a forum after all...


Enjoy & Learn!!

Wise words from X4MGS, I've only been here a month or two and the guys have been stupidly helpful.

And insurance wasn't so bad, I made sure I had the parents as named drivers to lower the risk and it came out at about £900  fully comp 6000 or 8000 (can't remember) miles a year.
