get it bought 6' at ?500 notes it aint bad, if it aint go tthe wheels jv posted mayhave 'cookie cutter' wheels wich are worth a bomb to the air cooled brigade!! if i coul get em to fit me mk2 id be interested in em!! (if cookie cutters that is!!)
 
yeah from what ive been told it is like u say a vw block with a porsche head and running k jet,and as jv said it is a bit hair dressery!!! as its a seriously underpowered porsche, but wouldnt mind seeing that head etc on a golf it it would fit!!!!

?600 with MOT.

To be honest, if i was technically inclined and had the space and motivation, i'd actually take the car for 500.

Looking round the web, 924s are getting quite rare as they are definitely the unloved Porsche. Its almost the runt of the litter.

Watch out for leaking fuel tanks, a lot of work to change as the gearbox has to come out  . The head is a Audi one that has been machined to take the injectors and as far as I know is only fitted on the 924 (have heard that a carb head can be moded to work) and are prone to worn valve guides and cracking.

Runt of the litter?  More like cuckoo in eagles nest.  not only is it an audi engine block (which as mentioned appeared in the LT van) but the running gear is a mish mash of Audi 100 and Golf Mk1 parts.

actually, is that really a bad thing

ok vr6 u probably gonna have a moan at me for this but arent 2nd hand porches a statement. if you cant afford a new one why bother.

sorry had to be said

What year and engine is it?? The early ones are basically Mk2 Golfs anyway. You can pick an early runner up for around ?600 so don't rush into it. Early ones also have VW hubs and many other VAG parts door handles etc. I couldn't tell you what year they started making their own parts, but its certainly a good donor as most of the parts seem to wear better than on an early golf, don't know why, but Porsches just seem to have been looked after a little better, suppose its something to do with the status......

mk2  golf= front wheel drive.
