Sweet…
What sort of bhp are you expecting from the upgraded engine?

Not too sure really. Its got a ported cylinder head with performance cam, bigger injectors and upgraded charger. Will have to have it mapped when its done too, i'd be happy with anything near 200bhp but not even sure it would make that.

Hi mate, yes its taken a long time to get to this stage but mainly because it sat as a stripped shell for so long as life got in the way. Im not sure how many layers of paint they put on i kind of just left them to it.
Your bodyshell looks amazing! Bet it will look stunning when painted. Have you done the panel work yourself? What engine are you using original or a conversion like me?
In terms of parts most stuff is still available for them. Mark carter at https://www.classic-vw.co.uk has been a saint during my project. Also vw heritage have a lot of parts and a german company called werk34 are quite good also. You cant buy new looms for them anymore and thats one of the things thats been so time consuming for me is going through it all repairing any bad bits. If you need any help along the way with your car give me a message and i will do my best to help out

I'm staying original with mine. The guy I bought it from has done all the prep work, new oem bonnet and front wings.
He smoothed the engine bay as he was putting a 1.8 20vt in, I bought that off him along with a set of BBS RS alloys.
I'm going to sell the engine on but I'll keep the BBS's to see what they look like on.
At the moment it's still in bits, think the loom is in pretty good nick, I'm trying to source an original radiator with cards which seem to be quite difficult to source new.
I have a brand new set of Hella front and rear lights, still in their boxes.
I appreciate your offer, I'm sure I'll be in touch regarding parts.
Did you reupholster your interior as I think I may do this, so any firms that can recover seats would be good.

Its cool you are keeping it standard, i think there is a lot to be said for a nice standard car. I sometimes think i should have kept mine standard but the thought of a supercharger was too much not to do it haha. The g60 engine is quite rare and not as many people do it as the 1.8t etc which i liked, also its a 1.8 litre and looks like its supposed to be there as its a very similar engine to the standard 1.8 that was in it when.it left the factory.
In terms of interior i bought a complete carpet and underlay set from a company called newton commercial, i also got the headliner and boot matt too and they offer owners club discount. My seats and doorcards are in good nick so decided to re-use them i havent actually fitted any of it yet as i wanted to get it running first.

Looked at Newton Commercial, they turn out some quality work, a bit far from me to send seats to them I think.
Looking a bit closer to South Wales.
The supercharger will look awesome, never seen one on a Mk1.
Each to their own, that's my philosophy. Ones things for sure, everyone will want a good look at the lump when its completed😀😀.

That looks great mate, as you said it doesn't look out of place the the bay.
That will sound amazing, what exhaust system are you putting on it?

Re:
Thanks mate! Ive actually gone for the standard mk1 gti manifold and downpipe as its pretty much impossible to find a 4 branch that fits well enough without melting the steering column boot. It fits really well but is still pretty close to the column boot so im going to wrap it with some sort of heat protection. As for the rest of the system im not sure. Ideally i would like a stainless steel exhaust of some sort but ive got a brand new mild steel system that came with the car so im tempted to use that for now to save some cash. Its something i can add at a later date.Jobypea said

Made a lot of progress recently after not getting near it much. Started to get the cooling system installed as i finally managed to find a corrado g60 rad after searching for ages, it was a used rad but in really good condition after a good clean. I also got the o2a rod linkage conversion installed and the rest of the boost pipes including rallye 180 degree outlet on the charger. The wiring is pretty much done now too including a brand new fusebox. All the g60 side of things is done including wiring in a relay for the ecu power up, big thanks to john newman for his help.

Haven't made much progress recently. Mainly due to the time of year and not having much cash spare for parts. Ive made a start on the interior, sticking the sound deadening in and putting the carpet from newton commercial in. It makes such a difference when the interior starts taking shape as it no longer looks like an empty shell. Im hoping to fire it up sometime in the next couple of months but there are still a few parts i need and being a g60 they are all pricey. Ive also been getting some of the smaller more niggly jobs done such as installing body grommets etc so overall it is still progressing just much more slowly than earlier in the year.
