My VW Golf C 1982, Rebuild 16v Turbo.

how have i missed this, car looks lush.

by anychance do you know what the offset (et) is on your wheels?

Sounds like you know exactly what you're doing with the engine! Throttle bodies look great  

That's one impressive car warehouse  

Matt

Thanks dik-van-dub

The wheels are 15x8 4-100 +25, 8" at front will not fit unless you stretch the fenders out, or you need another offset.

Thanks Pazwaa.
we are upgrading it now with new tools and lift and stuff you need on a hobby workshop

ahh long time since last update.
been working in the shop to get all done with air system, sorting cars, paint and stuff.

finaly got my package from the local dealer so i can start building the Engine soon.

CP Pistons, ARP Bolts all over, new lighter rods. and Autronic SM3 ECU.
Running FlexFuel for the use of E85  (Bioethanol) and regular 99/95 lead free

Big Change of Plans. No 8v rebuild for me.
got the hold of a 16v 1.8 KR Engine for cheap money, with 5 speed and drivetrain.
also got the Recaro Edition seats for the VW Golf mk2. and are fitting them in the car.

Some Pictures of the good stuff.


16v Engine before removing parts.


Starting removing stuff and going to degrease the whole engine.



One of the Recaro seats placed in the car. fits Perfect, with electrical height regulation on the seats.


Aswell as changing the car from 1.5l to 1.8 16v i have purchases Air-Ride kit with Tüv approval for my chassis nr.

Good choice of engine, that should go nicely  

Thanks mate.
hope so, only need to find out if i got the 02A or 02J gearbox to buy or weld the new mounts since its different mounts on the gearbox, dont want to weld the chassis so better to make brackets.

got my Exhaust manifold in the mail today so will put some pictures up with it mounted today

test fitted the exhaust manifold.
next thing is clean the gearbox and finding out what type so i can make the adapter for the mounting.

This is going to be amazing
Loving the two tone

Thanks Mate.

Some updates.
ive keep working on the Air in the back.
trying to figure out how to have it, and putting the Bosh 044 Fuel Pump near the tank.

- Starting to get in shape.


Setteling in with the hoses, just missing the the finish.



Now its time to put som fabrik over the MDF so its look abit tidyer and drill out some holes for the airhose and power to the compressor.


 

Finaly got to do some more on the car.

Finaly the luggage is done
im just going to add something to lift the middle compartment so i can work on the electronics or change fuses.



Got some parts from E-Bay aswell and got it painted and test fitted.

P.S The Oil Cover in chrome is going to another engine, its getting a new Black on this.

That all looks class mate
