Project Sleeper - Mk1 Golf 20vT AEB... Now Runs :)

Cheers pal. Appreciate the kind comments there. If you ever need a hand or struggling with anything let us know  

That is an amazing thread 8)    I wish I had 1% of the tech knowledge and skill you have, awesome, just awesome.

Loving the build I'm just about to start doing mine so might have to pick your brain for help. Just brought a aeb engine for almost nothing and got a 02a gearbox and the mounts.

Sure mate, any questions just ask  

Ive nearly finished mine, just waiting for the loom, suspension and brakes, before the big start  :mrgreen:

I've had some luck on the loom some bloke is breaking a mk1 golf with a 1.8t setup so he's selling things cheap and all the hard works been done.

paintwork looks amazing, great thread

How you getting on with the spaghetti jungle Gary

Very good project mate.
You know this game :wink:

Cheers chaps!

That Spagetti jungle you are referring too was passed onto Rubjohny mate.

He has the loom a while now but im hoping it will return soon. £100 well spent if it comes back all singing and dancing…

I will update some more pictures tomorrow as there has been alot of updates on the intercooler/grille modifications, but here is a teaser for now

Ok i have been working on the car quite alot leading upto Christmas. I'm Hoping to get things up and running very soon.. just awaiting the loom now.

Heres some pictures on the Front End Modifications- I hope you like

I like! 8)

very smart mate  :wink:

Oooh.. I like this. Keep up the good work

Hi

Absolutely brilliant work! I love the detailed pics (including the tea & biscuits and fizzy bottles lol) and all the effort you've put into this.

Cant wait to see it finished

Its a credit to you

Steff

Great work...looks spot on!

Wow.  What an excellent project!  Great thread, really enjoyed reading it.
Looking forward to future updates!

superb! hopefully we will see this in the flesh soon at a NW meet :-)

Here is another Modification i have done to the front end of the car. These plastic inserts are great quality and made by Bouchay from our very own Mk1 Golf Owners Club.

I just had them sprayed the same colour to match the car.
















All Complete



On the Car



As you can see, the Silver Ports are for the Air Filter and Oil Cooler. I have made custom gaskets using leftover Hoses on both sides to prevent any scratching off the paintwork and to give a good solid fit.



Now its to start the dreaded wiring, luckily i have Rubjohny on hand for advice aswell some great right ups.







My Soon to be new air filter once the MAF has arrived



…and, the worlds most expensive tool bench  :mrgreen:
