irn bru!

brilliant build so far mate!

irn bru ftmfw =D danke

sorry for the tread jack but how much for the VDO gauge? is it a pressure or temp as you say '150 degree pressure' doe it come with sender?

any time max, tenner for the guage, needs a tidy up around the metal face, comes with holder, bulb but not the nuts to secure the holder.

no sender I'm afraid, unless you can use a water temp sender, if so I'm sure i can find you one.

edit :- it is a temp guage btw

Epic, epic build! Keep at it mate!

cheers mr munkeh!

I think I've got an original mk3 GT air scoop thinging if u want it? but I'm guessing you will make your own :)

wouldnt mind one to be fair, saves me bodging something to fit.

fancy donating it to the cause =D i wanna see your mk2 aswell

No worries its no use to me now :p

il have a root round in the next half hour to try and find it, the mk2 is just sat on the drive with no fuel pump atm

dankeshun, i have a fuel pump off a mk2 gti if its any use, completely diff to yours tho =[

if it puts fuel in the engine it should be fine, as iv got a adjustable regulator to help things....

il see if i can dig the GT stuff out now.

how much u want for it?

Cant seem to find the stash of GT parts i had yet, will keep looking tho.

was after about 40 quid as its complete with all fuel lines and accumulator but you can have it for 15 squids if you want dude =]

sounds good, will keep you posted if I'm coming down or not tomoz

Hoping it uses the same "2-pin" connector?

fiited water pump / cambelt and timed up engine, will refit sump tomorrow and then the lump is ready to go to the unit.

need to pick up das GT box from hoppys in the week and then chuck the engine in there woop

looking good man, them starlights should look mint on the mk1.

not had much time latly to pick up that fuel pump, nor the cash.

been fixing 2 cars atm, 106 - clutch, megan - cambelt snapped , notice there both french

doing this just to fund getting the mk2 on the road :p fuking weather is slowing me down, no garage/unit ftl :(

yeh its dread mate when the rain hampers your progress, feel free to take the fuel pump when you can get up and just gimme the cash as and when.

poopy french motors =[

should get 40 notes as soon as i fit this clutch, not as easy as i first thought, but Mr haynes should get me thought it :p

and if i sell the 106 for anything over £700 i get the profit, WIN!

so i should be down soon enough :)

Safe

brand new stainless box made by double S in devon - 50 quid bargain

stuck a battery on the golf to move it out the way, stuck the oz's on the front of the mk1 so i could roll it out the way and shove the golf in the back. some daylight pics

and with the gearbox painted, clutch and pressure plate fitted, gearbox on (massive thanks to turbodailys genuis tip for getting the box clear of the flywheel, i owe you a wispa xD)

its a bit toight like

gotta butcher together a gearlinkage, and rob the rear gearbox mount off the mk3, change the fluids, connect driveshafts and get some tyres, and we should be alot more complete, but happy days. i was smiling like a cheshire cat when we rolled it out int daylight, i <3 lamp but i <3 the mk1 a lil bit more (just dont tell lamp!)

and nays crotch grab sneaked into shot

haha i love lamp <3 ! epic mate and u gotta love the crotch grab and my wheelspin machine in the bk ground

haha i love lamp <3 ! epic mate and u gotta love the crotch grab and my wheelspin machine in the bk ground

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

haha great sucsess ! ................................................................................

....................................... nattttt !

haha great sucsess ! ................................................................................

....................................... nattttt !

pause

naaaaaaat

harnesses are now fully mounted happy days!

starter motor fitted

found a few gear linkages in the unit so retrofitted all that linkage, just waiting on a new shift finger in the post and i can get the gear linkage up.

found the driveshafts i need, just need to replace a couple of cv boots, some fresh grease and they are good to be connected. if the adapted lupo shafts are too long, ill use the polo ones, as the different cvs have the same spline on the driveshafts, id prefer to use the lupo ones as they are near 3-4 times wider in diameter than std mk1-3 shafts.

fitted the bonnet and adjusted so it sits nicely and latches properly.

just niggly bits left now, my biggest pain is going to be getting the headlights rocking, once they are done I'm on the home straight, hopefully the manis should be ready in the group buy soon,

anyway only a couple of pics today as i was covered in gear linkage putty stuff and cv grease, laaarvly

am i right in thinking there is a plastic clip that stops the bonnet lever marking the paint as it goes down, or was that omitted in favour of just holding it forward as you close the bonnet, so it clears the slam panel

great sucsess ! looking gd it looks almost complete !
