I'd have a 35 over a 30 any day of the week

I'd rather have the ED30 but the 35 is worth so much more, I would swap and if you don't like it then sell and buy a mint ED30 and have holiday moneys left over.

The general idea was i was gradually going to do the ed30 up and keep it then to try to get it to the fastest and best it could possibly be but I'm now thinking is it worth the time money and effort?

I think id miss the Mk5 to be fair once it had gone! The only other option i have is sell the Mk5 to the misses :evilgrin:

Ive always wanted a Mk5 since my mom had her Gti 7 ish years back and now I've got one i feel like I've achieved my childhood dream so to speak aha but i don't want to make the wrong decision and regret it after!  :sad1:

from my experience its worth the time money and effort 100% turning a mk5 into a beast  :happy2:

but as yours has minimal mods and they can all be swopped over i would do the swap as the mk6 is worth more and its basically the same car just alittle more modern

Much as I really love the mk5, I think I'd also say swap!
Sounds like you'd be getting a stonking deal.
Can safely say I've seen more ED30's on the road than ED35's, so think they are rarer?

I'm not sure I have just got my eddy and I don't think I would like to let it go at the moment  :signLOL: sure it would be different if I'd had it a while and got bored of buying things for it (but I haven't yet). This sounds daft though thinking about the price of the 35

Swap... it's a no brainer.. can't believe you're even questioning it  :stupid:

Most of the parts will fit across between the cars.. clutch can be resold... I got my scirocco (Mk6 platform) for a steal at the expense of my Golf which I loved and it's a nicer car in every respect. While underneath it is the same car everything you touch, feel/see... is different.. and nicer...

From someone that has been looking to do the same recently, go for it. I personally prefer the Ed35 now, love the front end, with the DRL's. As many have said they are both pretty much the same car underneath and may not feel like a new car.

Financially its a no brainer, yes!!!

I'm a huge lover of the mk5, but I'd say that this chance is too good to pass up. You'll miss the mk5 for about a month before you realise you've totally made the right choice.
