S2 gti abf
Hi newbie here!
For the last 10 years I've owned a mk2 golf gti that I converted to an abf but have always dreamed of owning a mk1, last year I finally bought a mk1 s2 gti that needed a lot of work, it's been stored in my mates garage for the last 20 years and need a full restoration to get it back to its former glory! We started by cutting all the rot out and welding up ready for it's full respray,I've used my mk2 as a donor for the abf engine and any other bits I need along the way. I'm currently in the last few stages to get it up and running and thought I'd join up to a mk1 forum for help and advice along the way. Thanks for accepting me to the forum here's a few pics of the build👍🏼

Welcome! It looks like a tremendous amount of love is paying off nicely!
As I am a sucker for a nice Mk2, would you consider posted a pic of the engine donor in all of its glory?
Cheers!
