Wrecked MkII Golf?

[plipton]

Any PHers out there got a wrecked/dead MkII Golf?

I need a rear wiper motor and heater fan for mine and so far, having called a few breakers, have not been able to find any good replacement parts.

Thanks in anticipation.

Iguana's got a couple but he still drives around in them

I would try German and Swedish or Eurocarparts for these items. What is the point in going to a breakers when the electric motors may be nearly knackered anyway? They are factor parts, and will be cheap enough at G+S etc. See their websitesby searching google.

Good point about the breakers. My first thought was not to waste too much cash on my 14 year old runabout, but it will probably be a false economy to buy old bits.

Thanks for the tip

Incoming... blatant thread hijack...

Anybody still 'into' Mk2 Golf's have a good 8 valve GTi cam knocking about that they would like to sell?

Cheers, Phil

I'll get one in as well. I have some Mk2 rear lights, a drilled air box and a steering wheel boss kit if anybody is interested, all was fitted to my Mk 2 87> 8V

Thanks

Steering wheel boss kit?

Any idea if this would fit an... ahem... 1987 Scirocco?

Joining the thread hi-jack.

I have a ton of stuff from my mk2 in the back of the garage, have accumulated whilst modifying this my current mk2.

Rear Lights (3 sets), GTI arches, tailgate (soon), the entire dash, 6x9" pioneer speakers (not my style). Front grille, err half the stuff under my bed as well that I've forgotten is there.
A carpeted JL Audio sub in box just place in back of boot. and connect up.

Also if anyone wants to swap a mint condition standard parcel shelf for my custom stealth shelf (not the usual poor quality, looks same as original), then get in contact. Buyer collects. Can provide pics if you want.

I've got a few, is it a k-jet or digifant car? (they have different cams, but I've got both types anyway)

It's to go in my work/hack car, that I am trying to mildly modify/improve on a tight budget - an '87 Scirocco 1600GT.

Have picked up from forums that a Golf 1800 8v GTi cam is a pretty straight swap, giving near 10bhp. Already fitted a downdraft Weber, will add a K&N panel (for what it's worth), and am looking into swapping the terrible standard 'rocco exhaust manifold (poss. GTI item again...)

Also intend to swap to vented discs, GTI servo, and 16v master cylinder along with braided hoses, in a bid to improve the heart stoppingly bad brakes.

If anybody is wondering "why?"... well for family-political reasons I have to keep this car for a a couple of years at least but it's not worth spending much money on, so trying to make best of bad job.

Cheers, Phil

Mr filmidget esq, I've got lots of the bits & bobs you are after. Drop me an e-mail.

Er, not wanting to hijack my own thread but has anyone got a good, cheap (free ) heater fan and/or rear wiper motor?

Euro car parts want more than the car's worth for the bits!!
