Hey guys I have owned my mk2 for nigh on 20 years now
Started as an 8v GTI
Then a 2.8 vr6
And now buttoning up a mk5 R32 conversion
It's not to everyone's tastes ......but I appreciate all comments good or bad ☺️

So a few pics above of the engine bay before the r32 was shoe horned in
I smoothed the bay a few years ago......like it but it's miles from perfect and I like that about my golf......I did it so it's imperfect 😉
After I removed the vr6 I bought a tr motorsport shifter and some new seats as my previous ones were a bit snug
Most parts I've bought second hand and refurbed and I'm intending for more fun driving now than attempting to be a show pony.......I've owned her so long and had so many memories so far ......just need to finish doing the rusty bits that have turned up recently.
She running so just need to button it up.
Was aiming for weekender but unfortunately the world fell apart

I love it! Such a cool idea Thanks dude wanted to do it for years, I love muscle cars but will never manage to own one so I built my own 😌 Got a few more bits to add to her before I finish so wait and see Not a huge fan of stance and stretch and wanted to be different |

I love the current nascar look, shame they're stepping away from it in 2022.i always thought it could work on a totally different car, and you proved it! Looks great!

Cool looking Mk2, great to see someone going for a different style from the herd. Looks mean as hell.

Very nice. Always fancied doing this to a mk2 Cortina. Think they have just the right shape for it.

Always good to have another mk2 nerd on board 😁 I have some pics as I'm doing them ATM unfortunately most of the build thread was on mk2vr6.com when I was converting to vr6 .....still have some more to upload on here of what I'm doing now so will keep updating ☺️ |

Thanks buddy, wanted to stand out and be different with a build I'd love tbh....never been a fan of stretch and stance etc, I admire it but I'm not into worrying about 'appearing' scene 🤣🤣🤣 can't wait to get my other plans sorted for her before she goes back on the road 😊 |
