Here's a story. My parents owned a Golf MK2 that they sold

Grab it from him, fix the electrical problem, and then swap in a decent Toyota drivetrain.

Yeah, it's worth it if you get rid of the terrible VW engine and transmission.

MK2 Golfs are real tractor simple shits compared to modern hatches.

They're a fuckton to work on so if you want to get into wrenching, this is one of the fucking best opportunities to get experience.

If fixed through and through, they're also incredibly reliable and durable (don't listen to meme burgers, they don't know european made MK2 golfs)

I made a 3DT model of how I'd want it to look (putting this angry looking hood). Should I or leave it stock?

Also don't know if you noticed, but the rims aren't original so I'd like to change that aswell.

>electric part caught fire

That's a first.

What is there even to catch fire in a mk2 golf besides the starter,alternator and the radio?

>>16260429

the angry hood will get you tons of laughs (from others).

at least in the late 90's most just ignored people who had these mods
