Due to demand (well, one person ) My Golf GTI MK2 - Journal now added. Find it in the journals section.

Fingers crossed more people will use the journals section for their projects too!

Just a cheap plug really!

Only one comment. Don't bother with the PAS - you shouldn't need it, a big strong lad like you!

But authentic ... and the golf ball gear knób is still there too

But authentic ... and the golf ball gear **** is still there too

Damn right, they are staying.

Appreciate the coolness that is GTI. You don't take a really tidy low mileage 20 year old GTI and put a crappy aftermaket gear **** and seat covers on... You need teaching, you'll get there!

oh but please??? its horrible!

you gotta teach me and convince me its decent:rofl:

Nice car Tom, i'll have to start a journal on the Mk 1 i just got. Keep it as original as possible. It's hard going back to a car with no central locking, electric windows, PAS etc, but it's less to pack up. also got classic fully comp insurance from the co-op for

Just had a look - all those wires :eek:

One main reason why I steer clear of auto electrics - your a brave man !!!

whats the over all plan Tom??

Im also part way through a golf Gti Mk2 project myself, mines being turned into a 1/4 beast taking total off the road, engine conversion etc he's some pics of mine

So if you need any orginal spares let me know i might have them mines an 8V though

Thanks

Joel

Joel - mine to is an 8v - and yes, I do need spares!

I need all the dash swiches, and the resistor pack from the side of the fan box... I'm sure I'll need more bits along the way!

If you are on MSN - add me!

Pah thats gratitude for you, dont have a car to drive, bloody walk.

Fiar play to you for being able to strip the car and put it back together. I would love to be able to do that, but i wouldn't know where to start.

I hope to purchase a MK2 GTI later this year, but i would probably stick to the novice stuff, and get a mechanicto do the rest.

Best of luck, i will look on eagerly.

Tom, that PAS is a **** to fit with the motor in! BTW have you priced up a replacement hose from VAG???

Also Have you got everything for the PAS?????

I've now decided to scrap the PAS idea, it feels so nicely weighted while on the move, would be a shame to ruin it. And I have big arms, so whats the worry!

Just ordered a huge amount of parts for it from GSF, came to just over

The MK2 PAS is actually really nice! I converted my Old MK2 when I swopped from an 8V to a 16V motor! Much easier to do without the lump in place Like!

My local VAG Specialst tell me you can take apart a MK2 with just three spanners! Having almost done so my self I believe him

Notice the journal yesterday so I added mine own

If you need any parts let me know and I will keep an eye out for them when I'm down the scrappy next week

Quick bumpy now I have updated the journal...
