g60rge 0 Posted April 15, 2011 Heres my new project, ive known this car for years and recently had the opportunity to buy it at a fair price. Here it is after many hours of da polishing action, i hope you agree its looking not too bad. obviously there had to be a catch right? to be continued...........

andycowuk 0 Posted April 15, 2011 stick a jubilee clip round it, some WD and throw it back on. it'll be sweet. I really like the 'built with what was available' cars at the change from early to late - Late shape, late colour, early engine - early interior? I really like flash red - i miss my old one - it was early shape, late colour... Really nice looking - I'd happily swap mine for one with a mint shell and a blown charger!

bristolbaron 10 Posted April 15, 2011 Looks cracking - especially the charger! I've got a spare charger kicking around that may come up for sale soon.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted April 15, 2011 Would you be willing to sell me your dead charger? I'm looking for one for an engineering project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60rge 0 Posted April 16, 2011 lol @ the jubilie clip idea, sorry id like to hold on to the charger for future project mockups. so, charger stuff all removed, and new timing belt fitted, what a nightmare job!!! which left me with this problem plug is standard on all 8v golfs, sorted! got my hands on an 06 plate mini charger with the black teflon coated rotors and then got a mate to knock up this charger outlet for me, all painted up ready to be fitted i then made a call to my good friend N7NDO off ed38 and after a brief conversation a few days later he turned up at my house with a ready to fit bracket! we had it fitted in about 20 mins.. He also traced down a bad misfire to a dodgy lead so replaced these with some 8mm silicone leads inlet fitted job done! been sat on the drive for over a week, havent even taken it round the block yet as the car has no air filter, tax, tkt or insurance so cant report back on its performance just yet.

g60rge 0 Posted August 14, 2011 latest pics after some cleaning, including wet vaxing the interior and jet washing the engine bay which i did this weekend, having trouble selling this, so i just keep doing jobs on it when im bored as if im going to keep it. Everytime i look at it i want to keep it lol ---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ---------- ideally the air filter needs to be away from the hot air comming in from the fan but im having an op on my shoulder in the morning so no chance of that happening :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
