Jimbo's Mk1 Golf 1.8t
apparently running at 300bhp at the flywheel (i do have a rolling road sheet). But its pretty dam nippy
Interior is stripped out, just some horrible bucket seats, and harnesses, and a roll cage! LOL
Hopefully going to put the interior it all back to standard, (sleeper style, you get me?!).
Anyway some more pics;
after a day of owning it the rear engine mount snapped (discovered by a loud clunking noise when i revved it a little), and a horrible grinding noise coming from the engine (around the pulleys/belts), see video;

Any ideas?
cheeeeeers. Jimmy
