First of all, Hello!
Im usually lurking in the Landrover forums as thats my main toy however, i now have a Mk1 Golf 5dr that im kinda tempted to 'do up' as a second motor/money muncher!
Now, its kinda been underwater :rolleyes: So the engine is a wee bit knackered although we have ripped the head off and free'd it off with a block of wood and a hammer (ok, ok, so we'r farmers!) Its not quite back in one peice yet but i dont think it would be a great runner even if i did get it going (it is a deisel tho so that does raise its chances!)
The car itself isnt too bad paint and rust wise but it does need a clean up!
So, i'll stop talking crap and get to the big question, is it worth doing? Would i be better sourcing another engine and if so, how much/ how easy is it to get hold of? I am able to swap engines meself so thats a cost saving!
Either that or, can anyone make me an offer?!?! Its sitting west of edinburgh if anyones interested! Lol!
Cheers, Muddy
