mk1 16v project

A real spending spree, looking forward to seeing it all bolted back on  

Matt

Cheers for the comments guys, yeah am looking forward to wat its like all done aswell, sprayed the tank and fuel filler neck today, i cant beleive why i ever decided on using a rattle can before, the finishes from this paint i used from a gun is so much better very happy with the results

Bump,

Just a little update in a couple of weeks there should be a few photos coming up, took a while to do the underneath lol so long that i ended up giving it to a body shop to do cuz it was impossible to do Without a ramp, they have finnally done the underneath so ill be bringing it back home soon  

Lookin' good!

Just read this all from start to finish, and it's great to see it improove vastly frI'm when yPurple first picked it up

finally gone and got it back from the spray shop today took a few photos of the work done, not the greatest of photos as I took them when it was on the ground



















the stuff all over the paint is dirty water so if anyone thinks it looks a bit rubbish just to let u know that's wat it is, the pics actually dnt do it justice

now its just a case of put it all back on underneath

Great news    Looking good  

Good lookin!

cheers for the comments guys


another update

changed the rear axle for a powdercoated one with new bushes etc etc

heres a bit of a better pic underneath before I took the rear axle off



axle off



new axle and stuff to be fitted







new dics hubs etc etc



trying to get my little boy to help out but wasn't really working lol



got my old daily in the garage trying to sort out a bloody starting problem that its had for ages



and heres my new daily… awesome car! the more I drive it the more I love it, makes me want to get my mk1 on the road so much

Loving the powder coated axle, looks spot on!!

Nice mk2 as well mate, canny collection of VAGs there!

came across some more pics i took when we put the exhaust system on the car







heres the supersprint manifold (should of took more pics before i wrapped but i was to eager to get it on the car lol)

From “mk1 16v project”

what rear box did you use…….?
10 out of 10 so far dude, epic results
keep it up fella

Cheers buddy, its the supersprint 060 rear box i think the code for it is 322307, tis a quality system mate the sound is amazing when u put ur foot down, jst a tad to loud though i found but thats just my oppinion but tis is def worth the money

finally another update

got the tank and everything underneath put back on once they were all sprayed forgot to take a photo of the underneath with it all on but I shall take one when I get chance

i did get all my fuel pump/accumulator brackets painted etc





i got the mud guard thing on inside the arch and the filler neck on





also i got a red grill trim from swerve which id reburbed and fitted

what you guys think?







also finnaly got my wheels back and now they finally fit so had to trial fit them to see how they look



so now its just a case of sort my bloody water leak out, put the interior back in and then off to the MOT'r

happy days!!!!

Tidy work  

another update

ive decided to make a retro style roofrack as I think they look awesome and seens as I have a 3 door and a mrs n child it wud come in handy

so I bought some steel tubing (mild steel so it cud be welded) and set about making it

firstly id bent the two sides and placed them on the car so I cud get some measurements



once id got that I set about making a wooden frame so I cud build each piece up and that it cud be welded together with it aswell





and finally got it all together and welded up









just got to make the brackets to bolt it all down and then get it powdercoated, I can make the wooden slats at work so that shouldn't be an issue

well back onto the car

I finally found where the water leak was coming from and sorted that issue and gave the interior a clean and put back together ready for the exhaust to be sorted next week as its a little to loud







that's all for now then at the end of the month its MOT, tax and insure so by next month I shall be driving it

WOOOHOOO FINALLY

Very tidy work on the roof rack mate, look forward to seeing the finished article

Bet you can't wait to drive it now!  

Cheers mate, yeah cant wait, my old man drove it to the exhaust place yesterday cuz he had trade plates and when he got there his words were "that thing dont half shift"  

Roll on the ebd of the month 

love the red grill trim, the audi alloys and the roof rack  

hopefully it will fly through the mot and then you can fly around in her.
