Project 504...**Its staying **

After a brief strip down then house move which meant the car had to be rebuilt, I've managed to get moving again that I?ve settled into the new house.

Unfortunately I?ve only got a single garage now, but can?t have everything.

So today managed to get the engine out and the new block up onto an Engine Stand to be re-con'd.

I?ve also updated the website with the new pics www.mk1golf.co.uk

Nice to see the project moving again Chris  

16v going in i see ? Are you using the same gear box ? What other plans ?

Cheers………….

Aye im using the original 1.8 8v MK1 Box.
Been struggling to get time recently with trying to get settled into the new house ect………

Got alot planned, but im keeping it under wraps for now 8)

anymore pics of the car...what wheels are those?

Theres are pics on the website, the wheels are Momo Arrows, they are for sale if you fancy them

I know where your coming from with the rebuild when moving, I moved twice in one year and had to rebuild mine both time to make it easier to move.

Yours is looking good, are the wheels 17's

Yes 17" Momo Arrows

great work - looks a solid enough shell…

more pics and info! 8)

Ill pop some pics up on the website www.mk1golf.co.uk when i get a min.

A big mate of mine owns a Valeting and car wash centre and he came up today with some engine degreaser.

He foned and said "this stuff is the daddy, wait will you see it work" and he wasn?t joking. Honestly if I didn?t have such big plans for the car I would bother painting the engine bay, it did such a good job. Quick spray and leave for 5 mins, then rinse it off job done.





We also did the New 2.0 16V engine  

Well… What is it called then??? I could do with some "Wonder Goo" for my bay if the engine is coming out!!!   :mrgreen:

Can remember its made by a local company in Ayrshire, ive ot him to order me a few 5 Litres bottles of it. Once i get it al let you know.

 :mrgreen:

looking good - bay looks fresh!

Not for long, until i get an angle grinder to it.

OK today i stripped the first batch of parts to send to the company who are doing all the Chrome work.

I also finsihed stripping the engine bay all execpt the exhaust (That someone is supposed to be collecting…..Paaaaaady). Got the loom out Brake leavers, servo ect and removed the brake/fuel pipes.

Today i spent some time cleaning up the engine bay. I invested ?100 in a Dewalt grinder and put it too good use.
