did a lot today thanks to the lovely weather..got the loom out but i reckon i dont need to take the lighting side and connect all that into new car it will prob be easier mind...

got a bit of t cut on the go before it was too sunny

what you guys think to these bad boys :)

anyone know if i have to change the fuel lines?

You dont have to change the fuel lines.

Good thing as that is one of the worst jobs. Just make sure that you use the higher pressure GT inline fuel pump and you are ok on the fuel side of things.

Got my mk2 GT conversion running this weekend. 2.5 days work and drove it home. :-)

havnt updated in a while this arrived...

wish it sat that low

thanks

dont all rush at once... bump

I don't know about the wiring sorry.

Was planning a similar conversion myself and was just wondering what tool you used to get the drive shafts off as on here and the Haynes manual is very vague.

Thanks.

i have sorted it so its all good flettened the battery though oops

i never removed the drive shafts it was easier to drop the engine and lift the car over it!!

it is heavy as the engine if only i had an engine hoist or crane lol

your dai;ly dose... close tonight but no cigar

painted the badge need to tidy it up a bit

Surely you had to disconnect the driveshafts though??

nope

so i have been pissed of with the car didnt look at it over the last few days/weeks

got a 2nd wind the night so

were close now guys my new loom is on the way

see what could of been a problem here?

car got in a fight when he was in tha hood got a black eye

so i evened it out

would look better with my badgeless THAT STILL HASNT ARRIVED HINT HINT

Looking good,

I want to do this eventually, so gonna keep a eye out and see how this goes for you,

The car is pink tho isnt it? Its not just my eyes? lol

Goood luck mate

after a very very long time and a lack of time being at uni etc, i have managed to get the car going!

first time in tooooooo long :nyah:

looked into the carb and it was literally swimming in petrol, chucked a well charged battery onto it and then a few turns then it was going. it didnt want to idle but i think thats because the k &n is on it...

very very happy with myself

few things i need to sort out for m o t time, still need to line up the gearbox which is going to be tricky i reckon

the brakes on it were done last year but my cousin is scrapping his

6n 1.4cl

and it has brand new discs and pads on it so i think i am going to use them

does anyone know if they will fit if i take the 6n carriers and calipers?

and i need an exhaust gasket and studs... dont know where on earth i will find them though :uhm:

oh and to get it back to red :haha:

very pleased :lol2:

gsf, eurocar parts, local motor factors etc for all random bits and bobs like that!

VW for the exhaust manifold gasket, may as well get studs and nuts too. 5 for the manifold and 4 for the downpipe plus washers.
