The Geneva Motor Show is half way through and what a selection of cars we have seen so far. Everything from Ferraris to Fords, there really has been something for everyone. Amazing to think these cars are going to be on the road in the coming year. At planet auto we have compiled our favorites so far. This does not mean their wont be more. Expect to see our full round up of the 2017 Geneva Motor Show in the coming weeks.

It's been sometime since our Mk2 Golf GTI has had a mention, well last week I recorded a short video explaining what the plan was with our Mk2 ABF conversion and how far we'd got. The video shows some footage of the car and explains what we've managed to do, and what we hope to start in the coming weeks.

We chose the ABF engine route as it's a strong engine with great specs and pretty much is identical in resemblance to the KR 16v, the only difference being a 1cm taller block.

Hope you enjoy the video and watch out for Part 2.
