mk2 golf dt 16v project on the way!

[Czechboy]

Nice one rash, coming along very nicely. £160 for new window seal rubbers.........very ouch indeed.

Are the rear seats from a mk4 as well?? They look rather like seats that would come from a RWD car that would have a transmission tunnel running through the middle, hence no back middle seat.

Also can't believe you got the spare mk2 with all those parts and a vr6 engine for £400!!! What was the catch??

theyre carrado rear seats. there was no catch at all with the spare mk2 just lucky i went on line when i did and found it! EXSTREMLY CHEAP! even if the engine has gone its cheap

thanks for all other comment more progress soon when i can find time as the mrs is doing her rocker whats so hard about letting a man do his hobby

Will be nice with a VR6 in.

Drove a Corrado VR6 the other day and I haven't really driven a petrol before that has impressed me with it's pull - until the Corrado. Pulls well up in the revs and the sound track is pretty nice aswell!

 

[rashcupra]

will sound even better with a supercharger on her

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Yer it will! Whine like a biatch then spit and pop when you let off the throttle!

RobFR came to our last SEAT meet and he has a VR6 supercharged in his Corrado and it sounded amazing!
