The clipper is alive!!!!!!!!!!

At last,
Thanks to the boys at RK in St Agnes my cabby is alive and running like a new car…..
2.0l 16v in and running sweet……..After cracked head woes :cry:
They sourced another one stripped it and sorted it out. Runs like a dream.
Passat Front brakes and master cylinder on and she stops pretty rapid now :twisted:
Springs on 4 a bit of subtle lowering and to stiffen up the ride a bit…i like going for a drive on these twisty cornish roads
Just got to give her a real good clean fit the momo steering wheel and try to ignore the rust starting to appear

Looking forward to seeing some of you on the road now the summer is just round the corner 8)

Youre  a lucky fkr.


Come on spill the Asda beans how much?

jealous in sunderland

TBH, Have done bits here and there, some at one garage and some at RK to fix the first bodge.
Have a very cheap doner passat so the engine was pittance but all in all about 2.5k ouch…….
But I love her so whats money……


Thank god the gf dosnt come on here

It think thats a steel.

As for the gf what she doesn't know..won't hurt…


As for my clipper i will let you know…

painting on tuesday

Paint is the one thing I really want to do to her now but really cant afford it.
Have got quite a bit of work to do to my Corrado after hitting a badger last week :cry:

I have had clipper a while. Browsing ebay for a 16v golf then I decide a corrado is the best thing to do

I want a green 16v leather interior

you know the sort.

hello there. 20l 16v sounds cool. how dificult was it to fit the passat brakes or were they just a bolt on job?

Hi Mate

A couple of questions for you mate if i may. I am def considering this with my clipper. I was wandering what needs to be changed to convert the car to injection to run the 16v. I assumed you used the 9A as it was from a passat. What other parts did you have to source to get it sorted, did you have to change the tank/pump/lines to gti lines, what about the loom.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

As i don`t think i will have a donor car, i will have to sorce a lot of parts, and i am just trying to get a list of parts to get started.

Thanks Kenno

Hi Tim!!

Glad to see she's all sorted!!

Will be round for a beer in the not so distant future!
