    Loved these MK2's growing up in the late 80's/90's.... there were just so many great cars during that period like Golf MK1, Lancia Delta Integrale, 205GTI and Renault 5 Turbo to pick but a few. I am sure you did this car proud.

    I had 4 of the mk2 3 were 1.8 and 1 1.6. Check the carb see if its had the upgrade. The pierburg were terrible and normally got replace with webber. I am sure I still have bits from my last one clear indicators coilovers wheels and other bits always wanted to get another one as I wanted to put a 1.8t 20v that I have in the garage. Also check the bulk head they were bad for splitting at the clutch cable hole like old minis.

    • @HomeBuilt
      @HomeBuilt  5 месяцев назад

      Its got a Pierburg on it just now. I looked at a Webber but its like 400 quid new so i may look at other options.
      If your interested in parting with any of your spares give us a shout mate.

    Great content, brought back very fond memories had two back in the nineties, gold GTS and a Red Scala with a Weber carb and a high lift cam, quick as a Golf GTI , also used to be in the owners club called "Sky Rocket "from memory. Autolock amused me ,once had a car nicked with one of em fitted together with equally rubbish Krooklok !
