Since u last heard from me a few things have happened. I finished the M60 swap in the e36 and drove that thing around for a while. Took it street drifting once or twice with some buddies. Quickly got bored of it though so I ended up selling it a few months ago. As far as the e34 goes, it went to klucifers. I will be back in the RWD game soon enough tho!

Now for the recent purchase!



Well, I went and bought a VW golf mk2. Got it for 600V$. The guy I bought it from said it had been neglected in his backyard for over 10 years with the occasional start up here and there. It seems to have been in a collision at some point in its life because some of the panels dont line up correctly. For example, the hood and right door wont close properly and the front right quarterpanel is sagging. This is all things im gonna have to take a look at once its at the garage. It has tons of potential in my eyes tho!



As far as bodywork goes its farely good. It has dents here and there but rust wise its almost spotless. Some rust has been repaired since there is bodyfiller in quite a few areas. Still has some rust around the rear hatch and the sunroof which I will take a closer look at. Both of them seem to leak which might explain some of the mold in the boot. I have yet to pull the carpet out to inspect the floor. Lets not hope for nasty suprises there!



It has the 1,3 l CL engine in it and according to the tach it has done just over 340k kilometers. It still starts and runs good other than a failed alternator. I will most likely have it out pretty soon since im putting something with a bit more power in it to truly make it live up to its potential!



Its currently at my garage waiting to be picked apart. I plan on stripping it down to look for further rust and stuff that needs replacing. I may or may not pick up a parts car for it if its needed! :) :)

I will be back with more updates when I've looked more into it!
