Ant, if you're still thinking about the vr6 route, I sold my old golf mk3 vr6 to a lad last year and he's blown 5th gear, it's just sat on his drive now gathering dust as he's got another car, it's a k plated 5 door with about 120k with plenty of history, he did mention it to me and i don't think he wants a lot for it, i can pass you his number if you're interested?

Not too sure whats gonna happen yet buddy pm me the number just in case

what did yoiu decide to do in the end? Theres always a few 8vs to be found and quite a few that have been modified. I plan to keep my original engine and then get a period GTI Eng spec head and cam for it- 135bhp will be fine in something like this

well im keeping it close to me at the mo ive gotta get it done for march next year as ive got a little one on the way

congrats

i debated fiitting my 16v lump (especioally as ill soon have a spare 16v), but just decided to keep it period

Right ok ive been away a while and here is why ive decided to go a little upbeat

so meet the doner £300 later i had a Clean CAT C right off



Again stripping the old girl didnt take me long lol but The Jettas new heart emerged




So far ive managed to gather together a Corrado Rad / Fan setup G60 brakes and hubs. Im gonna stick with the Mk2 4 Stud setup to keep the 1 of 50 appearence as id like to keep it looking that little bit different (and the cars worth more with the original set up so ketp everything). Because shes a pre 90s car im gonna swap the whole loom over

lots of work there fella but a good doner car and i bet you can recoup most of your 300 if not more! It will certainly confuse many with the sound of the V

ahhhh I SEEEEEEEEE
