    Vw advice[pictures on page 2] .

    Sooo, i got the opportunity to get a mk2 golf for free, it is a enthusiast owned, garaged 1.3i cl. The engine/body/interior are mint, but it got some minor damage on the drivers side front corner damage (low speed into pole), apart form the slight front end damage, the rad support is a little bent. Could i fix it easily or should i pass it? I think it would be a great dd, but i do not know shit about dubs.

    I do not have any pictures of the car, but it looks like ths one, apart from it having what i believe to be a sport interior.

      the rad supports bolt in and out. If you are doing it for the first time i dont think it would take you more then a few hours. VERY easy to work on... you may not even have to remove the rad or condenser.

                If you got tired of the 1.3, you could always swap in a 1.8 pretty easily, those cars interchange parts like legos!

                        Well I was thinking of registration and taxes. 2.0 turbo is the way to go without making the frontend heavier and having to go to coilovers with a V-R6.
