MK2 Golf Turbo, an update.

[Robshaw]

Good work so far. Well done.

[BigW]

Are you going to stitch up the seams?

[Tech1e]

Are you going to stitch up the seams?

Yup thats the general idea

[SkodaLover]

Good work Ross, keep the updates coming!

[Tom_vRS]

Nice to see it coming along

[Tech1e]

Excuse the paint edit but this is morlike what im aiming for before the paint goes on.

[mattbeef]

Ahhh a primed engine bay soo much potential in one space

[mdk1]

Looks very nice

[Tech1e]

Few more pics from today, nice day for it so spent the morning removing yet more sound deadening and prepping the bulkhead. Decided it would actually be easier rather than filling all the holes to just make a new bulkhead panel from scratch, this will be done shortly.

[ric04vrs]

plenty of work still to do Ross :eek:

[Guest]

remind me what engine you are going to put in there?

It's certainly exciting!

[Tech1e]

It was and will be running again an Audi APX 1.8T (225bhp std) running Emerald V3 management and a few other trick bits (lloking at approx 270-280bhp).

True, but with it allready been fitted up its just a case of bolting stuff back on when the welding etc is done. Just the wiring to re do so its nice and neat. The interior will stay pretty much as it is with the exception of the dash which will be cut to fit around the cage. Quiet this car aint.

[mattbeef]

Mate it will be the 'ish once its done.

bloody hell ... it's gonna be a riot!

[Tech1e]

Hopefully

Just de mounted the second set of speedlines (first has two bent ones, not happy but glad I found out prior to refurb) good thing is all four wheels are fine so I can do a spare. Should be dropping them off to my mate shortly for refurb.

Also my apprentice found these in his next door neighbours garden, turns out they belonged to the previous owner of the house so he gave them to him. Im helping him out with his MK3 Golf so he gave them to me, some summer show wheels I think

As set of four.

[Tom_vRS]

What a cracking find mate, nice one!!!

[VRStu]

Those wheels look ace mate.

Engine bay is coming on nicely too.

[Tech1e]

I was trying to decide if I should refurb the Teledials and leave the Speedlines. But to be honest I cant afford the adapters for the Porsche rims at the moment and I may leave them as show wheels anyhow. The Speedlines will bolt straight up (although may need some spacers, we shall see).

[johnjohnhealy]

I still want first dibs on it when you sell it!

That or you got to build me a proper one too, too many of them are not built properly!!

[Tech1e]

Wheel whore, who me?

Just got in from dropping them off, should be ready by the weekend with any luck, told them no rush.

[vrswhite]

my fave thread

[mattbeef]

Nice work Ross.

You keeping them standard or going anthracite like your previous ones?

[Jon TDI]

The Teledials were a good find!

Keep up the good work Ross.

Would love to see it when it's finished.

[Tech1e]

Wheels are being painted gloss black, will go with the theme of the car very well.

So another day some more done

Tonights fun, stripping the cylinder head of its valves etc so it can be skimmed, cleaned, lap the valve back in and cap off the secondary air inlet port (dont run any emission gubbins, pah!)

Of course, sat in the front room watching Eastenders working on Evie's little dinner table, ace!

Also picked these up, quick release battery terminals, look pretty swish

More fun tomorrow no doubt!
