If I resprayed it, it would probably go muppet green again mate! Two yellow cars is a bit much!

I saw Rich the day I went to pick this up!

Got the engine out of the Mk2 this eve

engine crane? can't ad just lift the engine out for you?

think a black stripe down the side would work realy well on this saf (like aruns)

he probably could the massive beefcake, but he wasnt there this eve!

strippy strippppppppppy! to be honest for the time being i just aint gonna fack about, just get the engine in and start ragging it about! skint after buying it, and really wanna get some tyres for the borbizzles!

Woop woop this is looking tops

See you!

Oh Hai!

Thursday saw the new arrival of Adams 2 of 4 cars and another 2 of my 6 cars =/

It was like an episode of chuckle brothers, to me to you affair, especially with the peril, as half the front suspension was still disconnected! (all back together now that I could work in the dry!). The Lupolo is tucked away neatly behind the yellow golf and blue polo, its first indoor home in 2 years after I had to move out of my old unit near Jodrell Bank. Eddie Stobarts son bought the land to turn into a helipad and stables, the motherhubbard!

My head is still caning from walking into the shutter doors, nearly fell thru the beemers roof taking the above pic, and generally me and pidge were walking accidents!

Anyway the day saw more than enough progress and I managed to get some rusty bits cleaned up in the golfs engine bay and gave them a lick of POR-15, ready for Fridays endeavours!

So today I stripped off the polo engine mount and fitted the Golfie one, got the engine in the bay and front engine, side engine and rear gearbox mount fitted (note - you need to notch the rear engine mount to fit a polo box) and refitted the driveshafts.

Also offered up one of the borbs - 195/45/15 Goodyear Eagle F1s arrive next week, woohoo!

Hopefully Sunday should see the car back on the road, and thrust into daily action!

Jobs include

Tighten driveshafts

Cut and shut polo & golf front gearbox mount (for zee 5 speeder)

Fit turbo downpipe

Fit Intercooler

Fit oil cooler

Route Boost Hoses

Fit new top fill Rad & Slimline fan

Fit high pressure fuel pump, accumulator, in-tank lift pump and change fuel lines for 8mm ID items

wire up fuel pumps

fit ecu and wiring loom along with relayed power from ign switch

Banging! Great progress in a short time, would love to have a poke around that unit.

Das ist gut.

some sort of innuendo?

Car looks great man along mit das peril.

I'd like to go live in that unit

Looking Good Saf

Shotgun a ride in it at RR day

cars lookin lush man what you expecting on the rollers

Decided to try my hand at some welding today as I got a decent welder off my big boss at work for 50 dukes.

Et Voila - One polo/golf hybrid mount!

Welds all look good and penetrated well. Ground them back and started to box off some of the open sections from the joins, and triangluate it at the front, but I ran out of wire! Gutted! So thats on the shopping list for tomorrow.

So onto the Intercooler and Boost Hosing.

Intercooler roughly hung in place (Good old electrical wire)

Working out the routing from the turbo to the intercooler was a right headscratcher. After pillaging all the boost hoses from the few FI engines I have, I finally settled on this.

So will weld in some brackets to hang the intercooler and radiator from tomorrow.

Need a 90 degree boost hose (top left of the turbo -> intercooler picture) as I'm one short. Anyone around manc way got one? If so PM me asap please if I can collect it tomorrow! otherwise I'll get it ordered off ebay tomo evening.

Lots of jobs for tomorrow, looking forward to cracking on!

You can be the units attack dog! To be fair, if I didnt own my house, I'd consider it!

You can sit in it at the RR day and make broom broom noises, but I aint ferrying passangers around until I'm totally happy with the car, need it to get me to my folks in the evening so I can visit me old dear!

cars lookin lush man what you expecting on the rollers

No idea mate, over 150 hopefully and anything over 170 would be result, as thats what the peril is putting out currently (or was before I broke it) I'm not sure what maps in there at the moment, so whatever the result, it'll be a good base point

Winner See you later mofo

I've got a standard clutch friction plate and pressure plate sat here doing nothing. Yours if you want them, otherwise there going in the bin.

Woooo, can I make bwaaaaahhh tissshhhhhhhh noises too? Lmao.

Awesomeage :)

- Got the driveshafts tightened

- Servo vac feed fitted

Tomorrow shall see the

- Injection fuel assembly mounted underneath the rear of the car and plumbed in

Also need to do

Relocate the battery to inside the cabin, as the space is taken up by boost hoses now!

Boost/AFM/Oil Pressure Guages fitting (roughly as I dont want to cut into the dash, dont fancy garish on dash pods, so I think a 3 guage centre console is required!)

anyway some pics

Winner See you later mofo

Good seeing you and Dom lad, cheers for the extra hands and good laugh!

One of the unit lads is going to get me a load of wire from his work and I'm probably going to redo the entire dash loom by hand, that way I know it'll be right, as currently its slightly unnerving, but to all who know my previous endeavours, I now keep a fire extinguisher in all cars
