Going to be running it for a month or two while I get the golf ready.  The low down torque is great its also nice to have a car starting on the button and running smoothly

Class.

Enjoy it in it's original home.

You've also got 280mm front brakes and a cable-change gearbox set up there.  All you need to do is de-integrate the loom and you're laughing.  No immobiliser nonsense, either.

Was that off Autotrader?  I was 'browsing' a couple of days ago and saw a couple of peachy looking ones, ripe for conversion.

Managed to get it off ebay. No immobiliser that makes things a little easier i guess. I appolagise in advance as i will probably asking a few questions. Is there a guide on here anywhere on what to keep and change?. 280mm have I got these on my valver already?

[Khare]

no, 16v will have 256mm units.

[Conker]

Good find.  How much did you pay (unless its a secret!)  ?

[oakgreengolf]

no secret i dont mind telling 

hopfully its a good price

£450 tax and moted

[Jay]

£450 for a FULL donor car, that's pretty good inc tax and MOT imo.

At least you can use everything and won't have to go hunting around much.

You're current valver probably has 256mm unless it's had the 280mm G60 brakes fitted previously. Maybe some late 16v runout models came with 280mm ? 

[oakgreengolf]

Presuming ive the 256mm fitted. I can swap the discs, carriers and calipers over and hey presto 280mm

[Jay]

Then give me the 256mm setup once you've swapped it over

[oakgreengolf]

Sounds good ill give you a shout when i'm taking the engine out
