    Just to let you guys know.. There is a guy on Ebay breaking a few Mk2 golfs amongst other cars. His name is Will and he lives in Essex. I contacted him regarding a mk2 'track car' he had for sale. After coming to an agreement I travelled from Liverpool to Essex to collect the car.

    It was advertised with coilovers, it had lowering springs. It was advertised as fully polybushed, none of the front end bushes were poly, and the car was deep in grass so I wasn't getting down to look at the rears, it now turns out none of the car was polybushed. It was advertised with a widetrack conversion, it turns out the car has standard mk2 wishbones/hubs. It was advertised as having new rear brake discs and calipers, the discs were red rusty and the calipers were new.. to this car.

    Anyway, I wouldn't trust this guy at all. He may even be a member of this forum, and if so I welcome his comments......
