'91 Golf mk2

My mk4 is coming off the road for some much needed tlc and I fancied a mk2 for some summer fun Picked this up last week.

I found it on the forums. It's a 1991 16v in schwartz black with 103k on it.



The rainbow interior is standard and MINT and the MFA works and the RMs are in decent nick with brand new Proxies




And it's had a 20VT conversion



Engine is AUM code on 30k with Quantum Performance loom running approx 230bhp and hasnt skipped a beat in over a week It's on the standard 16v 020 gearbox and clutch tho which is slipping badly now :? but ive got a 02A cable change to go in...

Plans are to get the gearbox in over the next week, sort the bodywork which needs driver's door and rear quarter re-doing after someone dinked it Also, the bumpers, arches and skirts have been colour coded at some point but look a bit tatty now... I fancy the small bumper look perhaps??

I'd like to tidy the engine bay a bit aswell, there's loads of redundant wires and the intercooler plumbing could look neater.

Opinions please!!?

Rob

did you buy that local? i got offered something of the same description about a week ago.
Looks nice tho! bet it shifts, paintwork looks immacculate, im guessing it cost a pretty penny tho!

Thats real nice and i agree with the small bumpers, although the exhaust doesn't look too happy, have the brakes been uprated too

really like that rob looks very very tidy

good find rob why do i never have any money oh ye bum bullet job and three kids lol

Was on ED38 wasnt it ? Looks very good....IMO I'd keep big bumpers with it being a 91 spec but just not colour coded

Yeh it was on ED38, picked it up from Watford area. Had a good run back and yeh it is a bit quick!!

Its had G60 front brakes fitted which seem more than capable, and standard rears.

Paintworks is far from immaculate at the moment and yeh the exhaust is looking a bit wonky!

If I can find a decent set of unpainted big bumpers and skirts/arches I will replace them probably. I doubt these will clean up too well

Anyone got any? Or a driver's door... preferably in Shwartz black haha

Thanx, Rob.

looks cool i like alot

looks very nice with decent power as well

looks tidy rob there's an audi 80 in eva bro's with an o2a box on it she ussually charges 60 quid for boxes its on an 8v so you'll need a better clutch

i remember you asking to buy my red one a while back to do the engine conversion. now you have one ready made. good stuff! i'll look out for it in cave. (wanna do a wheel swap?)

Awesome looking motor Rob, jammy git wish I could afford a new toy, keep the big bumpers and ask Dimebar to price up new arches and trim it might not be as exspensive as you think then just keep your eye out for new bumpers, wouldnt mind a spin in it when I next see you, you going to Inters next weekend.

No problem Dean, we'll go for a spin whenever! Im working back on weekends now tho so cant make any shows or meets for a while... Who is Dimebar?

I flashed you the other day in it Ed! Which wheels?

Rob

Me is Dimebar! AKA James

Oh its you!
You have pm!

Rob

looks like a good buy! bet she goes well!

v nice, if you dont mind me asking how much she set you back? thinking about a change in 6 months if i get taken on at work?

Well the original 020 gearbox gave up dramatically before I thought it would
I had most of the parts to fit a 02A and convert to cable change but it's taken a while...
Spot the "small" hole in the casing



Also, a drive-shaft had decided to fall from together



The 'box is from a Ibiza Cupra so is the correct 100mm drive shaft flange and can be operated with cable clutch rather than converting to hydraulic (something for the future maybe.)



Standard clutch from 02A on but should probably upgrade to VR6 really?!



Shaun from Haven Classic & Kit Cars had to fabricate a gearbox mount as there was one missing and the selector box was a bit tight but it now sits at about the right height and the centre console should go back over without any problems



Hopefully going this weekend to pick up a door, bonnet, bumpers and some trim to tidy it up a bit... Still looking for some parts tho, anyone got a decent 16v exhaust system for sale?!

Rob

looking well bud there a place in leeds that will recondition your clutch and up rate it my mate did the same on his mk2 20vt running qpeng never skipped a beat
