Hey guys, so I recently purchased a 1998 mk2 2.0L 8v gti. Hopefully I can still find all the information I'd like here! She cost me only £400, the rear arches are rotten (but hopefully getting some fabricated come payday) she's never been modified and kept in a garage for the last 13 years! I would upload a pic but not sure how haha.

Thanks! I appreciate the response, she's going into the body shop Monday to have the rear arches fabricated, welded and sealed! Then when the rots sorted I can get on with the other bits and eventually make her a little more powerful, I know there isn't alot you can do to the AGG engines but I'm gonna try!

thats the same colour as mine! listed as brown on the V5 haha. aah i think its quick enough, besides i eventualy plan to cam/bigger valves/polish and port/bigger injectors and remap it to try get it nearer the 150/160 mark!

gonna go hunting for an AGG engine wizard and get some info. but first the dreaded rear arch rot to deal with, been told worst case scenario is £600 all in :eek:
