I'm a motorcycle mechanic by trade so I'm not bad with a spanner or ratchet but I'm looking to dive into the 4 wheeled world.
I have seen a a 2.8 Vr6 engine on eBay that I have had my eye on for some time now. My plan is to completely strip it down and do a full rebuild on it and obviously bring it back to its former glory performance and looks wise.
After that I would be looking to fit it into a mk3 golf but that won't be for some time yet as that would also be a complete strip and respray ect.
My questions are what do you guys honestly recommend? Mk3 golf 2.8?
Corado 2.9 or the Mk4 4motion?
It's not going to be a daily drive but more of a toy.
Then there's obviously the tuning side of things as well.
I'd imagine if I wanted to plant a turbo on there then the 4motion would probably be better then front wheel drive?
Would just like all your opinions and options really.
Help needed please.
