Hear is a few picks of my mk2 16v project, at least i hope as i havent got use to this image posting thing yet.
shes an f reg mk2 16v with a 2.0 bottom end, done 113k.
at the moment is a non runner as the starter has garn, however i replaced it but it still nouat happens scratch

my plans are to weld up the battery tray, sort a couple of scabs on the bottom of the doors, and gernley clean and tidy it up.
im in need of a idle control unit and a cold start unit.

Looks nice to me, what do you mean nothing happens? does it not even turn over or make a noise? are the dash lights on? is the battery charged?

doh! still havent got the hang of pick posting Mad

anyways all it cost me was £200, which included a set of FK coilovers that were new for inters this year, 2 sets of wheels, a brand new n/s bottom arm, infinty 6" 9", 2 amps, a sub and a brand new starter motor. Very Happy

has been a good morning for the 16v, after some help from the club gti fourm have mannged to get it running. found the problem! it was the overrun run cut off valve had come dissconected from the air box. i reconected it and replaced all the vacume pipes as some were split, only have one more to replace, put a can of petrol in it and it fired up first time, it runs fine and idles fine as well.

I'am interested in the complete running gear, if not available then i'd just want the engine loom/ecu but i'd have to remove as its delicate.
