                Thats just my strange sense of humour.

                Big welcome anyhow.

                And actually On the other end of the scale I've got an 83 GTI without a rear badge.

                      well before it stoped it was a bored and balanced 1.6 with big manly
                      valves 40.5 & 36 and ported and cam was scatt c 35 grind with weber
                      but head was bent and had cracks under 5 valve seats and had washed
                      the bore aswell . so i went to doner car 77 bored and deck block
                      and machined crank and balanced cause other was wornin thrust.
                      cam was pitted had reground. but spare head was a banana and they
                      broke it trying to get it straight , big spanner in works. so i have big valves and cam but no head for them.

                          I have a couple of heads lying around but might need overhauling. Surely there are heaps in vic tho. Wait till the "swallowtailers" see your Golf today, you shoud get some responses! If no-one has a head over there let me know. Cheers!
