Very, very nice. I love shiny engine bays. Mmmmmmmmmmm! :yes:

Shiny engine bays rock! I agree though about painting the letters...

I will at some point paint the letters i think but not until i am happy with the parts.

Managed to get some time at the unit today. Both rear arch's ready for the wider wheels now.

Roof all done and dent in rear removed.

Ready for a bit of high build primer.

Hopefully get it in primer tomorrow then start to get it ready for paint. Try to get the shell in colour next weekend if i get chance to finish the fiesta and MX5 first.

Wayhey!

Just remember to port all this to a blog, it'll be gone in Feb!

Pain in the arse to put it all across and blogs suck ass. Think the project posts will die in feb then as one of the other sites i used to post on did the same and it failed.

I have to say, hats off fella. Always had a soft spot for the mk2.

It is mate - took me a few hours to get everything sorted.

And blogs don't show up in normal "new content" posts, so will only get read by those who are actively looking for them. I don't like them either!

Liking this build thread with great mods too!! would be lost without my mk2 for a bit of old school coolness

Well the shell it all painted now.

Got it out of the booth this morning and polished it all up. Came out better than i thought it would.

Hopefully get time to fit some parts tomorrow and get some better pics.

Also picked up this in the afternoon :yes: . Will be the new run around for a while.

Good job!

I do like the small bumper Mk2's

Couple of bits fitted today.

Will start to get wiring for boot sorted next weekend and fit some more bits.

All remaining body parts ready for high build primer now.

Wayhey! Kepp going

Also picked up this in the afternoon :yes: . Will be the new run around for a while.

This looks nice mate...........

Coming along nicely.

New blog entries do show under the "view new content", you just need to click on the blog tab to see the new entries.

I am not sure of the exact date for the closing of this forum, new threads are already disallowed so I guess it will be soon.

Exactly, you need to be pro-active in looking for it

Whereas now this thread will show up in the "new posts".

Got 12 months MOT on the daily now just needs 2 rear brake flex's which i already have and a pair of front CV boots but got a spare set of shafts.

Got a spare pair of 16v rear lights put on today along with the RA's off the white 16v then gave it a good clean and polish. Rivets on most of the arch's were rusted and not holding the arch trims on. Rivets replaced and all arch's ok.

Front wing needs to be sorted as down to primer in a couple of places.

Drives mint just clutch bite is a little high.

Not done a lot to the 16v but should have more pics next week.

Another Golf on the road

Did a little bit yesturday but got called out to Scotland today so did nothing.

Couple of quick pics.

All panels test fitted just got the door setup so i can sort out the wing next.

Get it done!

Looking good, i like the red mk2 golf.

I keep trying to persuade the gf that i "need" one

Some great progress being made

Got the head all built back up now and looking a lot better than it was.

All fitted with new head gasket. Cambelt and tensioner all fitted as well.

Spent ages getting paint off the lower side of the passenger door trim from last bodge repair. Takes longer to mask it up than to remove it but some people are dumb.

Top job - keep it up

Good to see another Golf too, well saved

Hope this all makes it across to a 'blog' OK - it damn well deserves to...

Steve

Got a couple of more bits fitted to the engine and torqued the head down

Mk4 golf rear calipers cleanedand painted. Also fitted conversion hoses.

Rear discs are now ready with new bearings fitted.

Spent a bit of time getting all the salt off the runaround today after running around everywhere.

Got my spare 16v drive shafts and gave them a clean and paint.

Smoked front indicators as body of the drivers one was all rusty inside.

Fitted a spare pair of speaker grille's with sony speakers in.

All good progress indeed, keep it up buddy.
