Hello guys,
I usually hang around the Mk3 section as I have a white mk3 2.0l as my daily but today I went out on a limb and bought a Red Mk2 CL with a 1.6l.
It was built in 1986, the owner believed it was a SA import but its got a West Germany VIN plate so I'm not sure where its from!
It's got a straight clean body with hardly any rust, might notice some more once I begin stripping it down a little bit.
The speedo is a little off but it's only dont about 56000 miles, yes miles so its around 90000kms!
And the only major reason I bought it!
It's got a ragtop! In full working order with no leaks!
Plans over the next couple of weeks are;
Get the motor running well, needs new plugs and what not.
Clean the car up! Paint is a little weak.
Strip the interior and get some new door cards/seats installed.
Hopefully if all this goes to plan I will be ordering some coils to acquire some lows after its running and looking dandy.
Here's a few extra pictures!
Thanks for looking! I will update this as often as I work on it.
Build thread will also be coming up soon on my mk3 GL once I organise some new shoes for it

but one thing I noticed (and loved) straight away was how many more heads it turns, like my mk3 is clean and decently low but most people don't bat and eye but in the beat to **** mk2 nearly everyone looked on the drive home. Awesome!
