greetings fellow mk2'ers. new to the page & thought i'd say i'm glad that there is a spot for true mk2 enthusiasts. i happened across this forum while investigating the possibility of some new wheels (16' or 17" not much other than custom made).
my blue '82 has well over 300,000 miles (not km) on the original engine, still runs well. it burns about a quart of oil every 1500 miles. it sat in my driveway for about 4 years ( kids, mini van, etc.) before i finally had enough and got a new battery. i probably should have squirted oil into the cylinders before starting it, but i did get it started. letting a friend borrow it for now.
plans are to replace the dash pad, build a n/a 6mge, reupholster the seats, paint it (dark metallic blue, like the mkiii), recarpet, and then just drive it!!!
thanks for all the tips and stories. i hope to be a regular contributor, probably weekly.
