WANTED: Golf MK2 in any condition for VR6 or R32 conversion

[syncro]

Mk2s are much better cars than Mk1s and it is much easier to modify the brakes without the linkages. I'd prefer a German made Golf 2 than a South African. There's plenty around. The later model the better as they modified them throughout the life of the Mk2.

I don't think people can comprehend the amount of $$$ these projects suck up tbh

[GermanwithaVdub]

well over the life of the car i'm sure it would cost many thousands... but its a piece by piece hobby thing, not all at once. plus you end up with the car you want

[Golf Loon]

Yeah Mk2 platform is easier for bolting a late model engine into than Mk1

VTEC?? What????

There are knackered Mk2s kicking around for $1000, or a little bit more, but you have to search for em.

2 door would be best (IMO) pretty hard to find! ive got one, but it not for sale for any amount, lol
what sort of LOOK are you going for?

[evorobin]

I haven't mentioned this as it's pretty rough imo. Turns out (last week ffs) my brother inlaw (card yard manager) was offered a big bumper mk2 GTI 2 door trade in. Offered the guy $500 against a ute. Guy came back the next day and bought the ute having sold the car to his mate for, get this. $750

There are bargains to be had out there but god only knows how infrequently they crop up!

[benissatan]

how much is he selling this mk2 2 door for now! i will buy !!!

[gldgti]

v-tec? anyone want to clear up this little mess? its smells like hon... hon.... hond.... honestly i cant even say it.

[GermanwithaVdub]

hang on, whered vtec come into it? for 750$ id buy it tonight!!! i guess theres some ppl around who dont know anything about them and just pass them off as if they're a regular old bomb... i suppose some of you out there watch the auctions pretty regularly, do mk2s come through much? if they did i wouldnt think thered be much of a market for them at an auction

There is probably 500 or So Mk2 Golfs in Oz. The prices range from $10000 to $500, but they dont come up for sale that often. You get the odd car yard trade in where people dont know or care what it is, or one with a knackered motor or gearbox. If you want a real cheapy, it could be a long wait.
