Hi lads and ladies,

My name is Mannix, living in Ireland. Born in Sydney but here since I was very young. I'm a big VAG head and am currently building a 1.8t mk2 golf. I came across the site by a google seach for info on the build, looks great.

Anyways, here's my baby:

Welcome Mannix! Gosh that Mk2 sits low on the TH Monos. Would be damn cool once 20VT is in and the car sitting on those RMs! More pics!

Thanks, I'll try keep it updated! It won't be sitting quite as low when I have the 1.8t in. The RM's will have bigger lips too if all goes to plan:rolleyes: I've been collecting parts for the last while, sold my ae86 to fund the rest. Quaife ATB to be ordered during the week.

welcome mate!

thats a mighty cool mk 2 you have there! should be a ripper with a 20VT!

Any pics of that? You would've gotten pretty good money for it regardless of condition (if you guys in Ireland suffer the "Takumi Tax" like here).

Thanks very much, can't wait to have it on the road! Should be plenty of fun:banana:

I got 5k euros which was good considering very few have money to be splashing around here now, I owe the bank 5k but decided to spend it on the golf instead!

Here's the cam, I like a lot of old skool cars not just VW but I'll never part with the golf!!

Hi all, big changes since I was on last. Car is finished but unfotunately the black shell was too rust so here's how it all ended up with the new shell.

I'm heading to Brisbane in January and would like to get to know a few dubbers in your neck of the woods. I'll start a members car page later. Looking forward to talking,

Mannix.
