BLK16vtRADDO

Anyone?? :help:

Just finished putting new doors on the Rad and wired in new harness (complete from donor car) for all the electrics , all of the conversion works fine but now the Whole instrument cluster doesent work or the spoiler. Ive checked over everything fuses and conections for shorts cant find any problems, im now stuck. Any helpfull advice will be apriciated Thanks. :help: :help: :help:

Here's mine shame its not in any savable condition :epicfail:

Nothing going on at the mo , was in a accident in a mates car a week or so ago ,bad whiplash bad back and stuff so been unable to do owt . Been a shame cos we've had good weather :( gonna crack on 2morrow through need to b4 all my money goes on christmas.

Been quiet over last few days so managed to replace drivers door with factory fitted electric windows (not some Cheap kit) changed and modified harness to fit new doors will post pics of this, also changed fuel cap plate for centrol locking compatible one. Also Prepaired boot lid to be replaced with non rusty unit (will be changing this 2day hopfully) also gonna try and remove tow bar and replace bumper.

Been a bit quiet with the weather being bad :mad2: but still had a bit of time to strip down the 9a abit b4 removal. Removed most of the hoses, radiator, inlet manifold metering head and fuel lines :D .

I will get some pics of progress up asap.

Not much done 2day weather to bad :mad2: but changed out cracked headlight which also had broken clips, cleaned up some surrounds from the other headlights (better condition) changed the bulbs for bighter units and went for a drive :D .

Few more things i need to do as i found out while driving new PAS belt wont go amiss and give steering a good check over seems a bit heavy ,new wiper blades (maybe do an upgrade), get heater matrix fixed working proply and breaks new discs and pads just to name a few :lol:

This is true but would using the 2.0 16v KE-Jet management instead of the K-Jet and metering head from the 2.0 be of any benifit for tuning and maybe modification ,seeing as i have both cars to play with.?

Well not much in the way of progress 2day just a bit of cleaning and swap a front seat and a few pics to show what i have got to swap and change about if i need to

First 1.8 16v

Second 2.0 16v

As you can see the J plate has alot of rust , sils both sides, rear quaters, filler area to name a few so that will be the donor. I will start again 2morrow (earlier this time).

Ive just bought 2 Raddo's for a grand total of £800 one J plate 2.0 16v 9a + H plate 1.8 16v KR Im gonna use the H plate as a base for a resto project its been a daily for last 10yrs or so and the J plate has to much rot to fix within a small bidget .

My question is what should I do with the 2 engines, and bits form both cars , Im on a tight budget so no massive power monsters yet but a good base wouldnt go a miss.

Im looking forward to some good advice as this is my first Raddo project but not my first VW project.

I will be posting pics as soon as I get a good idea as to where things are gonna go and progress is made.

Thanks Joe
