The engine you've got in the car now is probably a "EH" (78hp) but it could also be an "JB". (70hp) or a GH (65hp) Assuming it's a 1.5 that is (unlikely to be a 1.6 unless it's a conversion)

The 1.6 mk2 golf is usually the EZ engine. Think pretty much all of them are EZ. EZ now!

That transfer bar looks pretty sweet. Always fancied doing that on a mk2.

"Aw no, they're talking golfs...kill them!!!"

hahaha thanks chaz

woke up late today, walshie dropped by to get chop happy on the nova loons springs.

anyway fitted the fks onto the rear of muppet and the jamex springs/shocks onto beena.

rear shocks coming off

coilies on rear

whipped front hub assembly, coilover strut and 256mm G60s off beena

whipped the same off the muppet

but was faced with a gayored outer cv, (this is why it was a pain to push the car onto the drive)

so whipped off the driveshaft, got a couple in the house so will measure them up later tonight, hopefully one will be reet! gotta clean up the two drivers side hub assemblies and spin the adjuster rings down a bit, then tomorrow can finish swapping over the coilies/brakes.

probably wont bother bleeding the brakes just yet, as i may be fitting a 22mm mc and servo, might need to fit a gti brake linkage bar.

loads more jobs to do but plenty of time. woo

good news, found a matching driveshaft in me batcave

sorted thru all the stuff i got with the car. give us a shout if anyone wants anything

Was thinking the same about the wheels but they dont fit over the brakes. Red one looks ace with them on!

hahaha it does, so i whored some more pics out for you gaz, looks mean without a grille and the deep chin splitter

didnt do much today get wasted with mates and play halo, but got a chance to whore some pics, gave some bits a quick clean with some degunk, will attack some more tomorrow if i can be arsed woopagio

coilies need to go alot lower on the back and a bit on the front

and some of the cleaning

lazy day really but still , watching the f1 now proper comedy two crashes and some geezer gettin mangled in a rear wing lol

Well, K and Walsh are here. K playing gopher and waalsh pimpin' the lunatic. Found out the engine is a JB. Now its trying to find either an inlet manifold that will fit so I can fit a pooberg 2e or finding a working 2 pin carb!

have sourced a weber 32/36 DTML, k&n filter and EZ inlet manifold to run a 4 pin carb. If the weber turns out to be too expensive i have a pooberg 2e2 which i can put on...

although looking at the current inlet manifold it was made by satan himself with the two most inaccessible bolts holding it to the head.....

anyway got the rear interior fitted today and some of the speaker wiring laid down, also fitted the harness pre-tensioners, still got to wire them up, but I've got a 4 way power distribution block for the stereo,central locking,amp etc.

anyway some pics of the interiay

undecided as to cover the suspension turrents in carpet or leave them green, ill also be getting a rear strut brace to ideas as to colour code it or paint it black please?!

could even go white to match the wheels when they are painted and the white headlining (which is already fitted)

also turns out the engine mount is that of the large block engine so my gti engine will drop straight in, the 5 speed box will need a small bit of modifying to fit along with the complete gti gear linkages, however I've got a full missinglinks short shift kit for that job :)

on a trip to derby today or tomorrow to see chaz and pick up some 14 inch mini g60 steels, crystal cross-hairs and some m3 rear lights (not for the muppet, for beena, but mainly to sell, swapping std rears for ebaylicious goodies :p )

I might have a carb that'll fit that manifold but it's off a 1.3. Eddie (maked out) has got it at the minute. Lent it him when he was having issues with the one on his mk1. Unless he's had some bits off it it was fully working last time I used it.

I'd say leave the arches exposed. Bit of a 'mare to cover em up I would've thought.

aye reckon I'm gonna leave em uncovered, wouldnt be too hard, I've got the glue and enough fabric to cover it but cant be arsed scraping it off if it looks gash! plus I'm liking the contrast.

me and k have picked up the mini g60s now, going to paint them white tomorrow.

I've dropped ed a text, cheers fella :)

looking nice and clean in there dude

been in pirate modding skillz hq with karl, chaz and stevie generally getting mashed.

went down to looms and found a couple of wrecks to say the least

pissrat - in beruit

4x4 festa anyone?

nothing a bit of por-15 cant sort out

and this one at the unit

a polo bready heralded a triumph tho, a weber 32 TLA, a two pin weber carb that will fit on me current inlet manifold, the cost. a grand total of 15 quid, 5 pound per green splodge with a pen by a dude wi a gammy leg. word

also swapped some oem rear lights for these barry jobbies, will acid etch primer the edges, paint em black and sell em

also swapped std front lights for these crystal crosshairs

also picked up some 14 inch mini g60s with tyres for the grand sum of 40 quid. (will get some pics tomorrow)

not bad for a two day bake session, and who said you cant be productive and get wasted at the same time

twas chucking it down in manchester today so didnt bother messing about with the carb, instead i camped out in the car and wired up my stereo and central locking, still got the electric window motors to do tomorrow and fit the lower dash trays after hiding the wiring.

also got the front door cards to fit after getting some rubble sacks and duck tape to make door skins before putting the door cards on.

also popped the front and rear lights on the cars.

anyway a few piccies cos I'm off to play halo with the lads

peace

oh also fitted polished door strikers with new nylon rings, they make the door shut so much sweeter and with a nice sound woohoo :)

well interior nearly done, electric window wiring needs tidying and pre-tensioners still need wiring up, but everythings in place and looking good

full sound system is in and wired up, central locking and electric windows fitted and wired up and harnesses/seats/carpets re-fitted

not taking a picture but I've whipped teh classics off beena and popped the mini g60s on.
