Hey, I'm a newbie here - decided to become a member because I was following Chris Eyre's Motorsport threads so much it seemed to make sense I've long been into VW Motorsport Golfs and always wanted to build a Mk2 16v rally rep. The Idorap site and Chris' input here have inspired me so last year I picked up a mega cheap 8v GTI from an ED38 user. This is how it came. Needless to say there are some issues to address pronto! It's scabby and I am slowly sorting mechanical and cosmetic issues but I love it! It's my first toe back into Mk2's having recently had Mk1's, 3s and 4s. It's taxed and tested and to date uber reliable. I also own a T3 Transporter Syncro and these have been my dailies for a few years. The Mk2 is a step back to smaller retro motoring for me. I'm planning on building a retro, motorsport style ride and have begun to collect some period accessories. I'm an Ebay whore so it will be a proper bitsa build like most of my dubs to date. The build thread so far is here but I may create one here. The feedback would be useful. Anyway - hello!!!
Hi mate, welcome to the forum... For less than 500 you cant go wrong with a black 3dr 8v. Looks nice and low too... Will keep an eye out for the progress in the members car section
