The mk2 golf project


Recommended Posts

My plans have changed due to the mk3 chassis being eaten away by rust. So the vrt has been put on hold and I have found myself a mk2 that I plan to put the vr in. I am going to Shot blast it the put new underseal on.

It currently needs painting, so I am wondering what colour to paint it in?I will post up some pictures tomorrow.

Any suggestions appreciated as to what to do with the mk2 as I have not owned one before.

here is the mk2 i picked up yesterday, came as a bare shell without windows etc. got everything to go in it so got busy yesterday. it is a good solid shell with literally just a tiny bit of surface rust

The rear wiper has been deleted and smoothed over. the VW badge has been smoothed over. The golf badge has been removed and smoothed over. Painted in white primer for now.

The engine has been removed and put into the MK2. i used the engine mount in the picture of eBay. the MK3 was stripped and sent to the scrap yard in the sky!

The Engine bay is painted :)

The last picture is a picture of it on its side on a jig. very clean underneath for a 20 year old car!
