    what have I done!

    bought a mk 2, that's what I've done.









    The only rust.




    Already 'debaged' the rear.


    It's an 85 GL, 1.8 carby, PAS, 5 Speed (with warn linkages ) and aftermarket sunroof (urgh). and no pass seat. I've got a few parts lying around to what on it.

    I often sit and wonder what the hec I'm doing to myself...

    Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. Suggestions??
    Won't be doing anything till exams are over, and the Audi's gone.

    Give it to me?

    Mad rally car?
    Put all the badges back on then replace the engine with a 20vt for the ultimate sleeper
    Full R32 conversion including AWD system? (supercharged of course)...

    hahah. Actually I just thought before about making it into a rally car. Has the ride height for it! hahah.

    Thanks for the offer matt, but I've got a pair of nice cordy fronts in my garage, and well, I dont sit in the back!

    20VT sleeper sounds like a good idea though..

    Put later model doors on it so you have the full glass and no quarters.

    Or feel free to buy my GTI off me so you have all the trimmings

    This is a gem. I did one up and it went like the clappers and handled like a go kart. Awesome car.
    Fit injection and get rid of the Zenith carbie, they are a real let down.

    I'd like go fit a whole mk 3 2L with injection actually. But i'm worried about the electrics/immobiliser/coding/ECU issues.

    I've heard Seat Ibiza GTI 2Ls have uncoded looms, and are better for conversions to earlier cars??/
