Jellybellys LD Diesel Front end resto begins!!

Ha ha thats proper ace, i want a derv mk1 now lol

seen as i haven't updated since november

thought i would give a little update

thought about selling over christmas and new year but decided against it

so with the MOT on monday morning fingers crossed

also i have a batch of fuel ready to go in once MOT'd



happy days

Like it jelly!
Keep the pics coming
Might need you to make me some wooden slats

bit more of an update

mot past i needed to collect some fence panels





then i was suffering from condensation in the car

the speaker holes had gone through the membrane so i replace these with some stuff my dad had knocking around in his garage

before



during



after



condensation gone!!!!

then time to mix the fuel



30% diesel should be alright in this weather



then in the motor



some people mix there oil in the tank, which 9 time out of 10 works fine

thing is oil is heavier than diesel so if mixed separate then the oil sinks and diesel on top, this takes a lot of mixing in the tank but once mixed doesn't settle out again. So it's better to mix before tank

i've been reading up but either way is fine

not bad at £1 a litre

i mix mine by irratic driving  
Bert

ringer?

Thats nice man... make it the German specked MK1 GTD if poss wil be awesome...

Well jelly, ive just read your thread from start to finish, nice one. I love the job you did with the roof rack, superb.
What did you clean your carpets with as they came up great. Hopefully im not too far away from refitting mine, if i can remember where all the small bits around under the dash go.
Maybe if everything goes as planned i might even get her out on the road and make a show or two at the end of the season.  :wink:

just read through whole thread top work, look forward to seeing it monday :-)

right then the conversion is 99.99% done

we started by matt- bringing the engine up and i got it ready in the shed

flywheel off as it a 02A



took all the passat flanges of ready for the mk1 to be fitted



can belt cover off, locking pin in the diesel pump to stop it moving



right as i didn't want to alter the pump by removing you can just trim the bracket down in situ and bolt a petrol mount over the top





after a bit of triming and chopping



belt back on and timed up



on these water cooled turbo engine they have this little water pump to allow the flow to the turbo, you dont need this just let it flow around the turbo. it might take alittle longer to warm up but it dont bother me



so with that gone the metal water pipe had a bit bracket that wasn't need so that got chopped off and cleaned up



next up orginal engine out





sat round the back of my house on a sack barrow



next up the TD engine came out the shed





then the AAZ 1.9 clutch and flywheel was purchased off ebay should handle the extra power



then i decided to go with a 4T gearbox, this has nice long gears so should be nice for crushing hopefully



So with a free weekend and reasonable weather the engine went in with the gearbox

sorry no inbetween pictures



the fuel filter needed to be mount elsewhere so made alittle bracket till i decide somewhere better to put it

oh and a proper chav init cone filter



make a downpipe still using the c clamps, just need to alter one of the linkage bars



little video of it running



other than the linkage bar it's about done

from a 1.6 n/a 4spd to a 1.6 Turbo 5spd hopefully the change will be mind blowing

enjoy!!!

Nice one Jelly, sounds sweet too.
You sorted the linkage out yet?

Cannot wait to see this going about.
Still need to sort out the door card colour.
If I pop over to pick them bits up, I can take a card and get it matched.

Cheers

Chorule

that would be great mate, would like to get them cards on soonish but the colour is way out

Nice one Jelly, sounds smooth enough  :wink:


Is the cone filter quiet or giving a bit of noisy induction?

the cone is crap in all honesty but it's a short term fix until i get something else sorted

it is alittle noisy

Nice work. Should liven it up a bit!
