Re: my mk1.5 project

i spent around 2k shipped on the engine, and chose second gen because i plan to modify it. it will be less expensive in the long run this way.

Re: my mk1.5 project

Mk1.5s are GODS among any car on the road.

One of these days I will have one. As soon as I perfect the method for growing a money tree.

Anywho... how much did you spend in total building yours? And how many hours (approximately) did you spend on the build?
