YOUR THOUGHTS GENTLEMEN PLEASE!!

At the end of the day you should do what you want to do, its your car and if thats what you want to build go out there and build it and dont worry about what people say, its you driving it not them

i understand what your feeling as finding standard low mileage minters isnt easy now but even if you sold it on the next person could mod it anyway and the search for a car you will be happy with could be a long one, not to mention it could turn out to be a nightmare of problems

thanks, I am slowly thinking sod it just mod the thing and be done with it, although my neighbour offered £2500 for it this afternoon and i nearly said yes as it would go some way to either buying a well done modded one or at least to buying the bits for a good one when it turns up.  Trouble is i am always busy and technically i have no idea so would have to pay for someone else to do it all for me, so the cost would soon add up, perhaps i ought to just go back to them mk4s!!

noooooooo keep it mate and do as you wish 
personally, if funds allow, i'd put in modded engine, sort out the handling[dont drop it too low], tasteful wheels but leave the outside as standard looking as possible with the small bumpers 
you would have soooo much fun mullering all them sports cars

nothing wrong with a MID_LIFE_CRISIS M8

I have a totally standard mk2 16v only "mod" being a magnex rear box. :embarassed:
I drive the car daily (50ish miles) and love every minute of it!
Having gone through a similar train of thought I have decided to enjoy the car as it is for now!
But come summer and beyond lean towards 9A bottom/full exhaust system etc, then who knows one day the 1.8t?!.

This way I will never get bored, will always love the car and will have enjoyed the car as standard upto  another direction I go in, best of both worlds really (well thats my twisted rationale)

Goops

only joking about the mk4s i will stick to selling them, and letting the wife use them (she wont take our lad out in the mk2 cos it has no airbags, abs blah blah bollx.

How much did you get for this in the end?

[volkston]

£2500 for the car which is great cos now i can buy something and tweak the f>ck out of it.  happy days
