Well, I took the plunge and after plenty of searching I bought a 1990 mk2 golf gti 16v 3dr in red from wales (infact I'm only just back after the 3 hour boat ride and drive home from dublin port).
Its got PAS, has the standard bbs ra's, lowered 50-60mm on koni shocks and has a scorpion dtm style exhaust.
The guy gave me a spare bbs ra he had for the car too, and I also acquired some electric window winders too. So the only thing the car is missing is ABS which I could probably source the parts for and add if I wanted.
It is burning a bit of oil, but other than that it was running very well and almost managed 40mpg on my way home from dublin and tbh I wasn't exactly hanging around when I got the chance (so much fun once you hit 5k rpm).
Gonna get plugs, filters and oil for it and give it a service over the next day or so and see how it is after that.
Will post some pics up later, when its daylight and I've had some sleep.

Only got up a short while ago and its been raining, so no pics just yet. Gives me time to source parts though.
Mileage is 148k, but that didn't bother me as I fully intend over the winter to strip the engine down and rebuild it replacing piston, rings, valves, cams, possibly the crank and add a baffled sump and windage tray.
Paid £1300 for the car, it isn't mint but I was just after something that was gonna be a good base to work on over the winter.
Ok so it's stopped raining sideways so I've went out and took some pictures with my phone,
by no means great quality but better than no pictures.
