ahhh thanks for the comments guys... really appreciate it... guy who sold me the shell has moved on to bigger and better things (r32 turbo) and so was breaking the car anyway... hes pretty much taken everything off apart from the engine, looms and dash, but that's all i wanted anyway

in then end i got the engine, looms, dash, custom exhaust, custom subframe, custom driveshafts and the intercooler and all the pipework for a very good price

got receipts from the conversion originally for over £7k all done by TSR

properly excited about getting it all done !

Looking really good man, can't wait to watch this thread get more updates. Exciting stuff!

BAM FTW!

What map isit running?

where did you get that 6n2 dash i want mine like that!!!!!!!!!!

done a fair bit of work to the car.. just never seem to take photos of the progress :(

just waiting on some welding to be done and my brakes to be delivered

something i bought today :p

Looking good mate, should be a rocket when finished!

Also let me know how you get on with putting the dash in, been wanting to do it for a while just need to source a dash and know how hard it is to fit. I'm sure a mate of mine has said it dont need much fabrication other then the brackets?

to be quite honest mate I've no idea yet... been concentrating on the engine and getting it running :)

ill tackle the dash when its driveable :)

I think I almost bought this setup before you did lol :) But I decided to do it myself so I know exactly what has been done etc.

Will keep an eye on this :)

How come I've never seen this thread before! haha hope the conversions going well mate :)

take my hat off to you mate, what your doing many only dream of, look forward to seeing this done, love the paint color btw

tiny update...

invested in a bonnet bra for travelling up to featherstone for work

only stays on for 2 days so alls good

nice to see you kept the 16v bumper original not smoothed :) beautiful car by the way mate

Few udates guys.... first of all (: i painted my old 16v alloys glow in the dark cos just fancied a change for a few weeks...

Tah dahhh !

then because i had much thinner wheels on i tryed out more lows

as you can see i cant go much lower because of my exhaust (: but anyway...

drove around with those wheels for a week and I'm ashamed to say i was gutted to find that brightly coloured wheels get waaaaay more attention than my RM's :(

my respray day fast approching i got my arse into gear and finaly fitted my 6n2 bootlid

old boot off (:

new boot on !

car goes away friday so ill be car less for 2 weeks ! (N)

will make sure to get pleanty of pics whilst my cars away to show the progress :)

did not think that the 6n2 bootlid fits a 6n ?

no updates for ages :( apologies

ran out of money and time, now its getting a little warmer though ill get some pictures up of what i have done, basically just buying all new parts

replaced every sensor, belt, pulley, tensioner, filters and a couple hoses.

replaced both front arms and pressed in TT bushes as they're a little stiffer than standard and not as harsh as poly ones

bigger anti roll bar up front for a 22mm one from a 6n2 GTI, poly ARB bushes

powder coated rear axle, mk2 golf stub axles, discs and back plates, mk4 golf calipers

wrapped the downpipe

stuck some reflect-a-gold on the bulkhead

thats about it :)

only update with a picture at the mo

fully braided brake lines throughout

Just some randoms I've found

and look whats just arrived today ;D

comments please !

Fuck a Duck

AyYooooooo Beastmode turnt on.... :)

Tasty brakes, i looked at these but they dont fit under my wheels :(

got them from rally designs, best price i could get online, rang them up and got a 10% discount and got grooved and vented discs thrown in for free because the plain ones had surface rust, BARGAIN

my day today consisted on fitting this

running the lines through the car, and finishing off the dash conversion

Waka Flocka...................

Yess................. I'm might copy you.. it looks that good..

be my guest mate :)

more hassle than its worth haha, ball ache to keep clean and some of the panels are a pain to make fit flush

tried the brakes on today, looked awesome

only problem is the disc fouls on the ball joint :/ any ideas how to get around this? personally think I'm gonna have to get differant discs :(
