Hello i started a topic ages ago never hit off so i thought id start another one as i couldnt find the old soooo here we go again :)

I bought the car last year for £300 which i thought was a bargen but after a day of driving it around i found out the waterpump had gone :( so i changed that and then i found out the headgasket was going so it got to the point where i couldnt be bother with the car anymore but had no money to buy a new car :( but my mum and dad said they will give me the money to get all the parts to do my headgasket so i jumped at the chance and got cracking and stripping the engine to be sort :) i got it all done with in a week which i thought was really good as i had never done anythink like that before. And now a year on the car has never missed a beat.. so ill stop talking now and let the pictures talk

Here a picture of my mates mk2 golf with my wheels on :( but there still mine

Hello everyone I was wondering how hard it is to swap my engine to a 1.4 8v eg what do I need :/

Wouldn't bother with an 8v lump just go straight with a 16v one

My thought exactly, valver engine or gti :-)

I've heard that its alot of work to do that and they never run properly :/

So the the other day I got some baby g60s but tyres where to big so had to come off

280mm

More to be coming soon

Good work man, came along way :)

Although I think a normal shape number plate would look better, as it looks like a buck/rabbit tooth lol

Cheers man planing on getting pressed plates soon anyways :)

Got my wheel fitted;)

Got fk streets but not fitted yet to the shitty weather :(

Got my new toy today aswell £70 well spent

And how she sitting at the moment
