Not exactly a newbie...
but I thought it was about time I said hello…
Hello,
I'm Gary from Staford in the west Mids
I've been a member for a while now but I've only been lurking in the background and not posted
I've always had Mk1 and 2s, my current daily being a MK2 VR6.
I also have an MK1 GTi which I've owned for about 7/8 years now.
I took it off the road about 3 years ago to do a little bit of work on it, which has now turned into a complete restoration.
I'll post a build thread in the relevant section.
This is how it used to look
Gary.

That looks awesome Gary I bet it's killing you having it off the road. I have one where I rebuilt the engine and now I keep getting set backs… just want it working again :cry:
How long before yours is up and running mate. Welcome the the site Gary mate :wink:

Welcome to the site, albeit belated
For a minute, I thought someone was trying to pinch my identity with abbreviations :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Just looked at your project, looks like she going to need a bit of time spent on her to bring her back to her former glory, I like the engine choice….just done one myself and pleased with the results 8) 8)

Thanks for the welcome guys
I think it's going to be a while before its any where near finished.
I've got a couple of MK2s but they don't even compare to the MK1, I miss it a lot.
I chose the 2.0L 16V as it'as been done so many times and is a (relatively) cheap conversion.
I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me out when I get stuck.
Cheers,
Gary.
