'83 Gti 16v turbo

Lol I live alone man and I'm young! 

Been at it today… Repaired the striped flange I had complete with new bearing 

Cut my gear shifter and my old one to weld together so I could use my ally golf ball 

Chucked a slim line fan ont top fill rad

NEW WHEELS!!!



Needs to come down a bit but my coils are seized

You need a Mrs to do it for you matey.

Nice rims btw

Thanks lad! No chance if her moving in yet… Doesn't know about the series 1 either

and so it begins, hiding cars and parts purchases is a real skill.

Looks great, love the rims. Great idea with the shifter stick btw! WD40 is your friend and a wire brush, get it on its hoop👍

Looking good dude

Cheers lads! 
Wd40 ain't budging coils either we have stronger penetrant at work and that won't  

Got some tidying up bits done yesterday and swapped wiper motor for a mk2 item 

Also tidying yet more wiring up so it looks neat in there, will be attempting some lathe work on say to make a spacer for my trigger wheel and hopefully, a strong one at that, get it fired up! 

My coilovers eventually gave way in a vice if I remember correctly. They were a right mother"£$%^"  though. I feel your pain trying to loosen them Brad

Juat read this from start to finish mate, didnt even realise u started another project, looks good wat u done so far buddy , whats that mega jolt? That summat to make the fueling system better?

Cheers fella, its the reason I can help you out with the box and what not  same heartaches over here! 

Glad you approve though 

Megajolt is mappable ignition, so I can map my advance and control it more than the Kr setup  

Simple enough once its read and understood

Ah i get it, one thing i wud do tho in my opinion is go back.to.the deeper splitter, i never usually like the deeper one but on.urs it just looked sweet as mate

Its on my list of trials. But means I can't get on our lasses drive/into local asda for beer lol.

What's the stronger stuff you've tried? Is it ACF50? That's supposed to be the danglies

And plusgas live up to it's reputation when I used it.

It's a brand called ambersil and we use it when stripping machinery down at work and frees most things off easy. Il sort it, wanted non budget coilovers anyway 

Invest in some KW's mate

Gunna do it mate and hopefully raise my turrets to regain some travel on suspension. 

Made a spacer up for my crank wheel, needs spacing out due to the rubber dampener on the abf pulley can cause false signals 


So, exhaust on tomorrow, finish coolant system (pipe rad up) and then, fingers crossed, start up day! Fingers crossed 

Good luck dude  

Looks good on the cookie cutters
