erm.. thanks :S lol ..

Its a shed ha, hoping to get it how i like for summer if i get a garage :)

15.2 buddy, wasn't really setup properly

Should break into the 14's then hopefully with carbs on :) ...

Imaaaa be ready for next season!

How dare you swear at that 8v engine, hope the AFH is fucked

Engine looks great though, nice touch with the paint.

MAX U DICKKKKK.. U jinxed me haha

Any progress on the engine then dude? Sucks not having whatsapp

naa nothing bud.. collecting engine soon as higgos ready.. will be slow as I'm looking for alock up to store car away whilst i do work etc . :)

Good luck with the lock-up, took me ages to find somewhere. Ended up with something about the size of a double garage £110 a month inc rates etc.

Cant afford that lol .. 20-30 quid for a lock up a month

If i could find something like that who wanted to go halves etc i would :)

Just picked up the AVY block off higgo .. Ill get it in garage tonight and can make a start :)

Siiiiick! Pod next year be the one Jamie!

Hoping to have my car preety much finished and how i like by next year..

Be good for summer :)

Rite quick update.

Havnt drove it alot atm ..

Found my self a garage/unit for 90 quid a week, comes with a free flat too .. The way missus see's it as a flat, with a garage.. i dissagree lol

Fitting rear bilstiens some time this week, there off a 6n bought them a mate for cheap. There PSS9's which from research are rather good, Got the fronts too but may be adapting these to suite the mk1 golf hub.

Been stripped and regreased and cleaned up . Get some pics when i cba ..

Look good. They look like they should go straight on tbh,

Get some pics up of the front and we'll see what we can do about getting them onto the relvant hubs etc.

Do you know the spring rates etc?

Looking good Jamie - coilovers do you need some spacers making for the top/bottom to suit or are you going to have the rear slammed at full height and use washers at the bottom?

Whens it coming off the road for the 1.6 switch? :)

Using 6n rubber top mounts to space it out with a tube ..should be all good . Coming off the road in jan . Started buying tools Etc and gonna crack on with engine and few other things .. Thanks guys, always good having someone in the area of work for the suspension side of things ey nick .. No idea on spring rates max, don't say on them. Any way of working them out ?

Yeah it's fairly easy to be honest.

IMO easier to measure in n/mm as you need a lot less mass/force to compress the spring.

For example 50n/mm... 50 newtons of force compress the spring 1mm. So you could put scales on a press with a way of measuring length change, or put weight on it, 1kg is roughly 10n...9.47 or whatever acceleration due to gravity is.

Or put them in my spring rating machine at work lol!

Nick .. Spring ratingZzzzzzzz, wanna buy some Koni shocks for you are golf btw lol

Rite thought id update this ..

I made a start on the car this month ..

Stripped down the front end and got the engine ready to come out ..
