Back on the VW scene but this time with a MK2
« on: 15 November 2013, 21:11 »
Hello, been away from the forum for some time (nearly 4 years) as sold my MK4 that I converted from a 2.0 8v to a 1.8T,  so have bought a MK2 that's been off the road quite a few years. Was delivered to me yesterday and is a project for me.

Its a 1989 GTI 16V 1 owner from new.

Lucky for me this doesn't need VAGCOM  :laugh: :laugh:

Just DO NOT drop a 1.8T into this one. Look at the grief the last car caused you  :whistle:
