Project MMPG ~Slow build thread

[Bugsy_malone 666]

Well, FWIW, this Golf is a 85 with a build date of 12/84.

Yeah see that sounds to me like the mk1/2 change over period, I know here in the uk I have seen both mk1s and mk2s registered the same year, so would guess that later on they evolved the axle compensator. Seems odd it took so long really and the old baywindow campers from the 70s had a brake compensation valve, although not connected to the rear axle (and based on the angle of the vehicle for load) it still had a seperate unit.

The wind of change seem to be, well, changing!

I am talking to a guy on the Tex about a Caddy. If so, I get my diesel pickup with awesome MPG ratings! It is currently a gas CIS-E, running, with some rust but hopefully not as rusty as this car. I am finding stuff I don't like. Structural integrity seems to be good but it needs new floor pans, the K member which I just got, various parts, etc.

So, will a MK2 tranny be a direct fit into a MK1 Caddy?

The Golf is being part out. I cannot knowingly drive this with the structural integrity compromised. I also do not have the funds to rebuild it. So it is being sold off.
