Hi all, just arrived!
« on: 07 July 2006, 16:37 »
Been visiting the site for a few weeks now and finally decided it was time i intro'd myself.

Driving a red 1988 mk2 16valver. pretty standard apart from big bumpers, twin upswept backbox, lowered 30mm and clear indicators.

Owned it for about four months now and gotta admit i love it! What an engine!

Done a load of jobs since i got it and must admit its a great car to work on and so far all the jobs have been through choice no breakdowns!!!!

Will be about on the site alot as its a wealth of knowledge so you'll all prob get fed up with all my questions.

Oh n to start me off anyone know any electric window motors that fit the mk2 golf? (apart from mk2 ones that is)

You can get universal kits and I believe Wolfe still make a specially tailored kit for the mk2 - volkspares used to do them 0208 778 7766 and I've seen them in the Eurocar Parts Catalogues before 0208 697 8805

A lot of people prefer to stick with the manual windows as electrics add weight to the car which in turn slow it down, not a lot but every second counts on the drag strip  :wink:

Think you answered your question right there, get down the scrappies  :wink:  that'll be a dealer only part and it'll probably cost a small fortune if they actually still sell them  :smiley:
