My vr6 cabby

Got hold of this a couple of months ago,just in the process of doing some updating and welding,the whole mk3 running gear was in it when I got it,I've put a cover sill on the one side along with a disc rear axle,braided brake hoses ,ploy bushed back end,removed the rear window and the inner lining and had a piece of vibac stitched in to replace the glass,relocated fog light to back lights,mk3 high line leather front seats,doing away with the backs,going to remove the divide in the engine bay between the engine and the wiper motor etc,smooth the panel off etc,removed the heater box etc as the car is just abit of summer time fun,just getting rid of as much weight as possible ,may leave the lower dash metal section out too,cant decide,the tintop,s dont have one fitted and im sure as its a side to side brace and not a front to back brace it could be left out,few pics of some of the work as I've gone

Will upload a few photos once I can log on to my photo bucket bloody account !!lol

looks nice mate, fair few bits to re fit :-)

Yer loads of bits,best thing about these old cars.easy to take apart,shall cut the scuttle out tomorrow and weld the holes up in the bulkhead,then crack on with tidying the wiring up

Now this I like !!

Fair way to go to get her back on the road but she's gonna really shift. When you hoping to have her done by?

Won't take me too long,had a day on it today,just been doing the engine bay toying the wiring,and fuel pipes,just redoing the power steering pipes too

fair play looks good mate, looking forward to seeing this one complete

theres not really that much to do,just alot of tiding up etc,once the engine bay is done just leaves the wiring to tidy up behind the dash etc and refit,and then trim the interior etc,not refitting the heater etc,not even going to fit a radio i dont think,just want it as simple and as light as possible,once its back on the road i think i will be bolting a supercharger etc on to it,,

    A supercharger on that. Jeeez that will shift massively. What sort of power do they have once charged? Got any plans to fit an LSD

Around the 250bhpish,no plans about the lsd,will be spinning all over the place!!lol

Few more bits done tonight,re done the fuel pipes and filter,next step is to weld up the holes in the bulkhead and the hole where the heater passed though,

You getting rid of the heater altogether then mate?

Yes,did get it off eBay ,done so much to it,think I'm about half way though it,

I've seen this up for sale a few times on ebay. It interested me,  because I've always wanted a mk1 golf vr6. What put me off was that this is a cabby and I really want a tintop. I look forward to seeing the updates on here and good luck with the build.
