Man! i thought my old bready had dodgy electrics (Cd player conected to the horn)...

At least he didnt use 2p's for fuses like someone did in an old GT :ninja:

Hope the MOT goes all good, no doubt it will fly through :thumbsup:

I thought your Golf looked familiar. I took these pictures of it in June 2006 at a local car show in the North East.

Blimey you don't mess about do you Saf? Epic progress dude, looking forward to seeing it on the weekend, you popping it on the rolling chode?

Loving the obligatory iru-bru :lol:

Got any pics of how you mounted the ECU and relays and where are you putting the fuel pumps?

Yeah I'll get some for you, just been grabbing the last couple of bits tonight so should be ready to finish up everything tomorrow hopefully cos I wanna go chill with hops on friday otherwise it's a Saturday convoy down!

Cheers man :thumbsup:

Got most of mine sorted and the ECU wiring holesawed through into the skuttle, just need to do some more wire shortening and then make up mounts for ECU and fuel pump. I hate making mounts!

Good luck with the fusebox aswell, seeing that makes me feel better mines S2.

Use the standard mounts for off the polo for the fuel pump and ecu dude it holds the relays too!

I just bent the bracket for the ecu to wrap around the metal in the scuttle. Will get you some decent pics, looking forward to cracking on.

U got a thread up for your golf

Making threads slows him down :lol: quote from goose himself :lol:

seeing goose's mk1 in person makes me want one :(

its awsome how youve got the mk2 and mk1 in yellow :) younger and big brother :lol:

top work :thumbsup:

ps. unit looks sick!

I don't have the standard mounts for any of it, will be making mine own up. Found a few pics of what other people have done so will do similar I expect, shouldn't be too hard just some flat plates and that.

Nope no thread, might make one up once its back together though and its on some new wheels.
