project vax

after spending time round so many golfs after helping jamiegolf i now have a mk1 of my own to play with cost me £500 needing some work so i will upload pics as we go along

pics of it as we got it



today as it sat in the sun

then we got it in the garage and set to work on the engine as on starting it it sounded like a bag of nails the rattle was something else  

then jamie seemed pleased to get his hands on it
we set about swapping all the bits over from the old gti engine to the other once it was on the floor

engine less and up out the way for now while we finished swapping the bits over then put the shafts back in so we could put wheels back on so we can roll it out for work in the morning

back on its wheels minus engine as clutch to change and few other little bits before we put engine back in wed night

also need some work in here too…!

will upload more pics on wed night when we get more done to it

It's guna be good mate, let's hope it's ready for ultimate dubs, then we can really get to work on it, I think the minilights would look great on there

looks like a good base so whats the plans for it u going down the 20vt route or 16v or just standard engine anyway hope it goes well

Run the 1.8 8v for now then tidy whole car up and go 20v turbo route eventually

looks like a great project and you dont hang around with the motor swap 8)

 i saw it up for sale too an thought loads of potential :dance:

After seeing what jamiegolf had done to his i thought why not, bit of work here and there and some new paint and new wheels and i will be on my way then just get used to the golf and source a nice 20vt for it then  

Guna go have a quick look at my new one this morning before I buy it,

see what happens when you play with my tin top  hell of a night last night mind you getting mine going felt like it was going to be a right cow to start.. still least it now runs and moves under its own steam just have to get all the bits to finish it now

progress has been slow on my poor golf but i am now running on a nice set of15" 3pc split rims which i should have pics for but my camerea died after i took em (new camera needed now) and few small bit done to it but spending to much time driving it at the moment

have fitted some goodies i got from the ultimate dubs show
smoked crystal crosshair headlights
lower strut brace
also got the clips for my seat runners but seeing as i need new interior i will wait till i get some front and rear seats

well i have been quite busy of late but have managed to get some work done to the golf have borrowed some rear seats from jamiegolf and made up a new parcel shelf and added some speakers to the holes that were in the door cards and also added my new wheels to it and lower strut brace and some crystal smoked crosshairs to it

and been putting some miles on it while spinning about with jamie in his cabby 20vt

please excuse the pic size's but my camera died after the ultimate dubs show :roll:
