while taking the clocks out to wire the rev counter in this suspicious substance fell out of the dashboard :lol:

and a very crap picture of how it sits atm

15082010870.jpg

most of the wiring is done just need to tidy it up and run a wire to the fuel pump, i've gotta get a exhaust clap for it and line the gear selector up. also i can't seem to get the clutch cable to hook on the lever, it's a self adjusting one and i think it's stuck fully adjusted :?

after that i hope it's working because the jetta gearbox has just shit itself but i can't sort it till i've done this and got rid of the bready. i fucking hate car's some times :lol:

Is there much wrong with the bready apart from no engine lol? Have to get a few to have a meet as where that close if want dude?

it's pretty stripped mate although it is pretty straight and solid shell and it's had the rear arches flared by a previous owner although theres a few holes been cut for hydraulic hoses to go through (one in each rear inner arch and two in the bulkhead just above the transmission tunnel). it would be easier to tell you what wasn't there than what is tho :lol:

i'd be up for that, couldn't do it for a few weeks at least tho. i need to get this polo running for VW Action and need to then get the jetta running to use for work so gonna be flat out for a few weeks :-(

Oh rite fair enuf mate would of took it off you are hands if not lol yeah no props dude when ever mate and do u need a gearbox for the jetta?

  • Author

nah i've already got a gearbox here mate, it's just finding the time to swap it, how come these things always happen at the worst time? :lol:

Was gonna say got a few kicking bout the unit lol I know what u mean there mate sods law ent lol always happens when u need them the most

engines in and it\'s driving, i can\'t give it a good caining because the tracking is so far out the tires squeal when it\'s going straight, but i took my mate out in it and had a little play and it fucking goes well lol

th_Polo-1.jpg

the exhausts blowing a bit (and hanging a bit low) and a few other bits and bobs need sorting, but it\'s just been a rush job to get it in and running now the jetta has given up on me. gonna give it a good going over at the weekend and sort out any issues it has ready for Action :thumbsup:
