Jimbo mkII

Checked them out. They're actually only about 13 miles from me as they're situated in Kirkcaldy. I'll give them a ring tomorrow morning. Jimbo mkII :salute:

Cheers mate. I'll go check them out. 8) Jimbo mkII :salute:

Cheers mate. I've owned a Scirocco Scala and a mk2 Golf 1.6 cl before but I've never had to search for engines etc. It's a nightmare! I've not had the internet for that long so didn't join any sites when I had my old Dubs. I currently drive around in a mk3 Astra (yeuch) while my valver sits there distraught Jimbo mkII :salute:

Hi guys! Just registered. I've never posted on a VW forum before. :salute: I don't have a Corrado (although I wouldn't mind one) but have a mk2 Golf Gti 16V which I need some advice on. It needs a new engine and gearbox. It is the KR engine and suffered the exploding gearox fate due to the previous owner. As a result of this the bottom end of the engine is holed and leaks transmission fluid when driving. I bought it for £100 fully aware of its shortcomings. I thought it would be a good project. I'm just wondering what my best options are and possible companies who can help me as I live in Central Scotland and there are no specialist VW breakers around. :mad: I would really love to fully restore the car. By that I mean bare shell respray and virtually all new parts etc. I'm new to the internet VW scene so any help/ideas/links to useful sites would be much appreciated. Jimbo mkII :salute:
