Kawaski green Golf mk1, 1.6 polo engine on bike carbs.
It's a '83 1.3 model. But it has a MK4 Polo 8v 1.6 engine in it running 750 bike carbs. Ashely manifold and full stainless system.
I pick it up on the 28th, then driving it back, the whole 115 miles lol.
Will get more pics uploaded when I get it

Going to black out the rear windows and lights (want to tone down the green abit)
Other than that I don't think I'm going to change it. Apart from bucket seats and some crosshair headlights. Can not wait. It's going to turn a few heads for sure lol

I was thinking of carbon wrapping the bonnet and roof, but thinking of just getting a bonnet bra instead.
It comes with a set of black and silver plates too, I know they're illegal, but they look awesome!
The next two weeks are going to drag like hell lol

It comes with a spare head for that engine too, he said that if I got it skimmed, ported and polished, it'd be super quick, although he said it's fast enough already. Honestly cannot wait

Yeah port that other head of its spare and rebuild it to learn kinda thing, doing that you may have to up main jet, and raise needle a bit but it's easy enough
Good luck picking it up man!

Going to take some pics tomorrow
Drove it back 115 miles, seems to be fine, apart it it idles too high, but it's off to BoggBrothers to get the carbs retuned.
It's sitting well too low for my liking. I literally hit the exhaust on everything in the road, luckily, it's on adjustable coilovers, which I'll higher up soon. It's 110mm ATM
It's rather quick of the mark, quicker than my brothers 225bhp Renault megane GTi so to speak
