sooty the golf

Featured Replies

soo i swaped my polo van

it was a bit of a gamble

basicly the golf was up for sale on here with the head gasket blown

so a trip to leicester in a transit flat bed with the van on the back took place

its a 1983 mk1 golf with 86000on the clocks and a 1.6 gtd lump with uprated turbo

so far it has full gti spec brakes

gti intirior

front and rear strutbraces

k&n airfilter

2.5" straightrough stainless exhaust

coilovers of some form

i think i did verry well for a straight swap

plans are.

manul boost controller

fmic

stainless boost tubing and samco hoses

a few small pump mods

standard grill

black side trims

a new front bumper as the dude decided to screw the plate to it :glare:

and posably some 15s I'm not to sure yet as i love the look on 13s

turns out the reason it was over heating was a core plug had blown and there was a major leak in the rad and the rad wasnt even wired in .

and the white smoke and genaral crap running of the car was due to the fule pump timing being well out

still cost me 300 at a garage tho:/

B)

good times
