Rad fitted, plus right master cylinder and vaious hoses tidied up and finished off, new vacum hose made and fitted, egr system binned and blanked off.

The nearly infamous geezer's box'o'pipe - it dosent matter how many pipes you remove from it it never gets any smaller and will usually contain at least one of the pipes you desperatley need.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113300/07042011414.jpg)
Not bad considering he's never broken a polo so these pipes are all mk2 golf or corrado stuff. Cooling system filled with g12+ mix and tested for leaks, none so far.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113300/07042011416.jpg)
Correct late mk2 valver master cylinder, just need to collect some brake fittings and make a few pipes up. Brake circuits traced and run into tee's ready for connection.

Installing the looms, Geez cut out what we dont need from the old loom, wire's left in place ready to bridge over to the gt loom, should help to keep it a little neater.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113300/07042011422.jpg)
ecu bracket made, painted and drying nicely.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113300/07042011423.jpg)
Ecu bracket finished tonight and fitted up with the ecu, shown here fitted to Geez's mk1 as it was dark outside, raised section at rear is the mount for the ecu and fuel pump relays (seperate from main fuse box on gt polo looms ) and as from the pic will mount to heater motor shroud so i dont have to drill any hole in the leaky part of the scuttle area .
On call from tomorrow night and we are still waiting for the correct fuel hose to arrive so it maybe slow progress over the next week.

ecu tray transfered to my car .
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113304/09042011432.jpg)
Ecu and fuel pump relays fitted with velcro tape for easier removal should it be necessary.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113304/09042011431.jpg)
Further on with the looms, Gt ones finished, some extensions required for the old loom.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113304/10042011435.jpg)
Pretty much done, just cranking feed, fuel pump wires and the power to hook up. Also had to modifiy the temp gauge wiring as there'e nowhere for the old style sender to go, Geez soldered in a 90 spec temp sender plug, the gauge will be a little out but should still warn of impending doom.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113304/10042011436.jpg)
All original loom and earthing finished with the head to coil pack.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1113304/10042011437.jpg)
All front brake pipes finished, there's a corroded rear pipe to change before it can be bled.

Since the mot the exhaust has broke. On the positive side it means I can get rid of the coke can size supersprint for something more subtle.
Also still not got around to fitting the chip & afm but that'll be done soon as the exhaust sorted.

Really love this project ,nice to see a small block conversion done it makes it a bit special in my eyes and you have done such a great job.must be nice with a pepped up 1.3 and 5 speeder fitted. 20v turbos are great but this is a lovely up grade![]()
Thanks mate, cant take credit for conversion as Geezer done most of it but I resisted the urge to go big block. Im hoping to AFH it soon(1.4 16v) as its the best small block out there with cheap tax & I miss my old 6n.
