mk1 20vt and mk1 PD

hi mate - awesome build - quick question - is the coating you used for the engine mounts and rocker cover etc a textured black powder coating or a paint? wanting a similar finish on my wheel centres.

cheers

hiya mate its paint made by VHT  

few more parts collected today

another self sealing hose joint to help with the mounting of the forge 007p



a new high powered 11' fan that i will be mounting in oe housing



both available from www.revotec.com.

a 3' silicon joiner for mounting the air filter




with the air filter mocked on (not in final position)



and a random front end shot  

been busy with the Audi today so I only got a bit of time on the mk1

so spent a few hours making the rear gearbox mount

this is the finished gearbox half of it using a polybush









then i finished off the welding on the body half of it, just needs a lick of paint now  8)





the mount is hidden under the gearbox for a cleaner look and should help with reducing engine movement

decided to ditch the polished boost pipe in favor of wrinkle black





also got the dv mounted almost straight out the turbo back in  8)



engine bay is about 90% done now  

that. is. sick!

loving the crinkle black, just makes it look meaner. plus it makes the engien kinda pop more out of the bay if you know what I mean

just thought i'd let you know a mate of mine with a mk3 golf conversion i made an AUM loom for plugged the ecu diagnostics wire direct to his vag-com port and it worked

cheers mate  8)

fan housing…. done





vacuum line ….done



and all the bits to finish the clutch  8-)

cant be long now till its on the road now

yeah getting there  

i have the fuel lines, down pipe, drive shafts to fit, finish making the interior loom, now waiting for matching silicone top and bottom rad hose in black  8)

then when its all up and running ill flash the custom map onto it  :wink:

then loads of other little bits to finish

You are just awesome. I have no mechanical ability and my mind boggles at the things you have done. Do you take on other peoples cars  

haha thanks  8)

i dont personally as i dont have a premises…..yet

altho i do do a bit of work for crazyquiff who are more than capable of doing any engine conversions  :wink:

fuel system

new fuel pump, lines, hardware, wiring and a stainless steel crazyquiff bracket  



new braided line to the fuel rail with earl hose ends and ally separators and mounted to the cambelt cover (black cable ties will be replaced soon)



new VAG oil filler cap



and a over look of the bay at the end of tonight

1 sweet motor motor mate, cant wait to see this one finished  

That is simply brilliant.

amazing  8O

Still looks as good as ever James, Are CQ selling these? Why is it "longlife" as you say? Also have you fitted any sort of fuel filter?

Joe
