HAV 25Y 1.1 project

Hi everyone. 1st real post I've done.
I have a Mars red 4 door tin top I bought just before Christmas with running issues.
It had been fitted with a mk2 1.8 from a driver with a weber dmtl.
my original plan was to ditch engine and chop some holes and make a 1.8t quattro but as the sunny days keep popping by I can't wait so need to get it on road!



I noticed the carb flange was split so rather than buy a carb flange I decided I'd rather put my gti engine in instead seen as I had all parts gathering dust.
seems like more work but it's not that hard on an engine like these.

I'm most ready to run now just need to plum fuel lines in, sort a couple of breather pipes, fit wiring loom and time it up happy days!

Looks a bit messy I know but I know where I am with it and what's left to do and what needs to go where but the end is in sight!

I haven't got many pictures as they've been last thing on my mind but will try take some keep it interesting.

In the mean time here's some of the mk2 golf I've not long since done.

Before







And after

Had a fairly dry day so managed to get a bit of time on it after work, new timing belt kit on and some more plumbing in done.

Nice projects. I'm potentially looking at doing a mk2 like that up too. Was it elbow grease or new paint?

Thanks buddy. The quattro jobby has been put on hold till after summer I think.
The mk2 job was dog. I thought it just needed 2 doors but was rotten as a pear.
But I've had 2 before wich were solid so you can get good ones.
Just check and double check it over.

Lots of work there
Be worth it in the end

It's been a while since I posted so thought ill drop an update.
The mk2 engine is finished and running sweet now.
I've managed to fabricate some mounts for the rear bench and then treated the old girl to some new suspension and brakes and then smartened her up with some new wheels to replace the boring steelies, a new grill, cross hair headlights lights and full red tails and super shiny stainless bumpers.
Will be spending next few days flatting and buffing the paint as it's not been done and all orange peely so will take some better pictures then.

The golf has been taken off the road now to start the 20v quattro conversion. I Will be making a new thread for this
