I've got 8k to spend what do I do????

Hi all,

Ok So I've got bout 7k and a blk m2 8v 1990 original with very tidy interior. I been trying to put a plan to gether to get the car where I want it to be. Turns out I won't have enough cash

I figured it would work out cheaper to get a really  nice blk mk2 90's spec for bout £3000-£3500. I'm hoping the car would have coilover's, deep dish rims bout 8j or 9j, g60 arches, full stainless ect.

My aim then is, to get the interior re-trimmed in leather, and get an engine conversion done, g60 pos a 20v turbo depending on the insurance

I don;t know!!!!

I'm hoping to have the car up to show standards, don't know if I'm being realistic though.
What should I do/ expect with the cash???

Have you thought about doing something with a Rallye with that amount of cash?

I have thought about it, but I don't think its for me. not as kean on the shape either.
But if some one could impress me with one wich is for sale than maybe I'd go down that road but I do prefer the other shape more.

what bout buying a G60 so u already got the power there, so u just need to tweak it a bit. you would save money in that respect because even if you did the conversion yourself it wouldnt be that cheap

I could take a while to find one but with that amount of loot I would try and get a G60 Syncro, although its not a VW with 8 grand to spend I would look at a e30 M3 ?

i'd be looking at 20v mk2 should be pretty easy to pick one up with 8k. seen a few go for the 5k region

Sorry meant to say if I get the G60 conversion it would already have to be converted, cheaper to work with you're right there

As far as the BMW concerned thats not my kind of thin, round the city I live in no one will ever let me pull out from a turning   
After all with that kinda cash I could get things like a scooby or civic type R I mean after all that's the sort of thing I'm up against most of the time not to mention those flippin cossie's just wanna wipe the smirk of the drivers face whem I see those shoot past me sure some of you know what I mean.
SORY bot the rant.

Does need to be a mk2 golf really. thanks for the suggestions though they have been taken on board.

Is 8k enough to put a decent show motor together???

Thanks all of you

£8k I would of thought should be enough for a show car, you might have to be shrewd with purchases and shop around but I would definately say its doable

personally I wouldn't waste it on a car. but that's just me.

Can't seem to think of anything better to spend the cash on. I mean I already own a 4.5k DJ set up, own my own house Have a kid, cool job etc etc.
So with me having a kid, raving is out the window at the mo ( gotta be responsible. )   so I figured with a really nice Mk2 I could still have great time ( taking the family to the shows,)

Like I said could do with some help. need to get some sort of a plan together.

Cheers.
