I'm Phil and this is my MK2:

Welcome Phil,
Very nice looking mk2 you have there!
Thanks Monkey, bought it new, got about 90k miles on it. Doesn't quite look like that at the moment, bodywork and interior does, but mechanically it is in boxes. Main crank oil seal started weeping on the clutch about 3 years ago so I decided to fix it.
Oooops, but it will be good when I've finished. Didn't look too bad mechanically but there is just the block and sump left on a stand in the engine bay.

bought it new!?! wow, well done.
looks great. oh and hello :-)
Very impressed you bought it new.
Are you working on it yourself?
If so, get some pics and a build thread up, we love seeing progress pics!
It looks very well in the pics, I'm on the hunt for another mk2 and would like to get one even half as good looking as that.
Welcome. You have a cracking original car there and it is exactly what mine should look like.........................
If you can, start a thread in the Members Rides section so we can see how you are getting on with the work and it might be beneficial to join the club if you haven't already done so as you will be able to get discounts in places like VW Heritage
I may be able to do a back together thread but it is not what I would call a restoration or build, it's more overly through maintenance keeping the car as near to how it left the factory as I possibly can.
A lot of the car looks like this at the moment; inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and stripped cylinder head needing some machining. All my own work, no body work need, all body work appears good.

I'm here because I enquired about being a paid member and was sent a link by Michelle T

Sorry, I meant become a paid member (think it's £7 per year). If you are a paid member you will get access to member discounts at places such as VW Heritage.
...I'm on the hunt for another mk2 ....
yeah?
Don’t look at my car; I’m unlikely to ever sell it. When I’m no longer you will have to negotiate with my son’s.
Halo dan selamat datang di klub!

Yes I understood your suggestion, it's not obvious though where you sign up.

Made a start with an introduction:
https://www.vwgolfmk2.co.uk/clubforum/index.php?topic=517.0
Can develop it into an as now then back together thread if there is interest.
No, it's not obvious. But paid membership can be purchased through the club shop: https://www.vwgolfmk2.co.uk/product-category/other-merch/
Hiya , welcome, amazing car.... 👍
All sorted, now a paid up member.
Very impressed you bought it new.

Not sure anybody is interested in a build. Perhaps I got the intro wrong?
We love a progress thread, it’s also a nice way to keep a record for yourself

Really??? what about a puny white 8v?

OK I'll get some now pictures. Just about everything that is coming off is off except for the brake pipes and I want them the correct shape to copy.

yeah?
Yeah, I'd like to restore one to standard :)
