Looking For My Old Mk2 / G369 FCW — looking for my dad’s old silver Mk2 Golf GTI
Last post by Roderick23 -I’m trying to trace my dad’s old car, G369 FCW, as a surprise for his 50th birthday at the start of November.
It was a silver Mk2 Golf GTI, first registered in September 1989.
I realise it may have been broken, stored away or changed considerably over the years, but if anyone recognises the registration, has seen it in an old advert, has photos, or knows its story since the mid-2000s, I’d be incredibly grateful for a message.
Even a lead toward a past listing, garage, show appearance or current owner who might be willing to hear from me would mean a lot.
Thank you!

Last post by kartman -Is this one still available? The MOT ran out on 9th December last year so I'm guessing it's either gone or been sat a while. If it's still about, I'd be interested to hear what it's been up to since. Any chance of an update on how the Weber setup has been running and whether the welded areas have held up?Hi, it sold quite quickly but remained local to me and was bought by Mook Wraps who has since wrapped the car in a matching Tornado Red. He now has it For Sale Here.
When sold the weber setup was running a treat and all the welded areas were holding up nicely. Drop Ant a message and he will be able to fill you in and he may still have it for sale, screenshot below

the tdi conversion kit in the box (loom, ecu etc.) hydro pedalbox and hight-adjustable steering column (with bonus ce2 cruise stalk)
B3 & B4 have the same rack as mk3 Golf, only difference I know between them and mk2 golf is the trackrod length but this is easily fixed with swapping trackrods OR bodgery with shortening (I have a mk3 pas rack on my Mk2)
B3/4 rear axle looks like a mk2 axle but differs - might overlay a nk2 axle and photograph later.
ready to fill with scrap an go to the great car graveyard (or become chineese tincans)
a sad end to a good car but it'd reached the end of its road

Last post by nadabsardar -Only thing I'd flag is 19 years sat in a lock-up will mean more than "a few scabs" once someone gets a wire brush and a torch under it - box sections, jacking points, rear arches etc always look worse once you actually get stuck in. Not a deal breaker at all, just worth being upfront with buyers so nobody gets a shock.
Would be good to see some pics of the shell underneath and the parts stash if you can get them up. Hope it finds a good home, be a shame for this one to get parted out.

been busy today, had a few hours on the B3.....
all that work just to get the bulkhead soundproofing
and the 1Z / 02a gearbox combo with the B3 (ctually oe fit B4tdi) intercooler & pipework - long innit!
not photographed are the other bits, b4tdi have the front mount crossmember with a'hydraulic' mount - an improvement over rubber especially with a heavy engine - this I'd fitted when converting the B3 from petrol to tdi.
also the hydro-clutch conversion and 9" servo, and the tdi loom etc.
another nicity is the hight-adjustable steering column, I'm looking into fitment in the Mk2 BUT the shroud will not match-up
should have the pas rack and rear axle (disc) removed tomorow then raiding interior trim.

Mk2 Parts for Sale & Breaking / Re: Rear parcel shelf for mk2
Last post by Carl -I’ll have to measure the speakers and let you know. From memory, there was a sub in the middle and two smaller ones either side. Possibly tweeters too, but I might be imagining those! When I take it apart to check sizes, I’ll know more.
I’ve tried to work out how to upload photos of it, but have yet to figure that part out…any pointers would be very much appreciated.
I’m not really looking for anything for it. It’d be nice to have it go to a good home and be used. I guess just paying for postage would be perfect. Or welcome to collect if easier.
Thanks again.

the AAZ 1.9td engine just before (or during??) removal
the 1Z 1.9tdi electronically controlled engine going in (10 years and a month ago)
knitting the loom, from ce2 into ce1
and as it looked untill a month ago....
last month it failed to start, classic immobiliser problems that snowballed into having another engine loom knitted togther (ce2 tdi loom to ce1 fusebox) this was done in the works carpark!
earlier I mentioned cruise control, mecanical / cable speedometer supplying vss to the ecu controlled engine
this was when first run, I'd bought a few mk1 Golf cc stalks from California so used one (also looked into mfa but never persued.....)
ebay UK supplied a late ce1 Golf cc stalk (remember the days when parts were availavle?) - this was 10 Years ago
back to present day......
got bored with regular rear wheelbearing adjustments, time for 6N Polo rear discs / stubs and hubs
bits everywhere!
hub on stub on Golf
BUT.......
theres a problem
the Golf rear disc caliper carrier uses a 25mm long bolt (M10x1.25mm pitch) to secure onto the stubaxle.
the Polo setup uses a 35mm long bolt
nobody seems to say this when talking about conversion.
anyway, done now
so...
I've decided that my '92 B3v was beyond repair due to advanced rot so started creating more bits in my stash.
luckily I have a 1989 B3v thats getting all the B3 love (admittedly slowly!) so most parts will stay :-)Rich.
