Looks in a pretty rough state. Well done for taking it on, and hope you manage to save it!

[Hofmiester 10]

Yeah, some pretty heavy corrosion there. Have you tried POR-15 before? might be worth using that on this one.

[loepan 11]

Lovely, can't beat a fresh paint job! :)

[Dox 23]

Fair play, unrecognisable from where you started.

 

I take it your a pro painter?

[willmason1975 10]

Pro panel beater but picked up painting through doing my own stuff.

[willmason1975 10]

Engine is back in now just need to sort out the wiring side of it. The fusebox was in a carrier bag when I got it! :roll:

[seanl82 23]

Wow, you got skillz! Thats a fantastic turnaround well done! Unsure on side repeater position though......

[Sean_Jaymo 0]

Like this! I'm also not sold on the side repeater position!

[willmason1975 10]

Yeah I'm not too sure myself to be honest, just wanted to try something different!

[Craig 0]

Fair play mate. Top turn around. Nice to see the effort being put in rather than taking it to the scrappy :)

[willmason1975 10]

Well the project has come to a grinding halt! Ive tried to plug the fuse box back in and it will turn over but wont start. I dont know enough about wiring to go any further. Theres no fuel pump kicking in. I cant even tell if the immobiliser is working VAG-COM isnt connecting to anything so I will have to get an auto spark to have a look.

[st4stokie 10]

Got to take my hat off to you mate that is an amazing transformation from what it looked like at the start. Have you checked all the relays on the fuse box? Could be fuel pump relay not working

[willmason1975 10]

Yeah I'm not too sure on wiring at all I may have even damaged something putting it all back. I've checked fuses but don't know how to check relays I've swapped fuel pump relay with a known working one but the more I do the less things work so gonna leave this one to the pros I think! I've done a 1z conversion into a t4 and that was simple because everything was already connected and running in donor so only had to transfer things over. I don't even know if there's anything missing or if the ecu works on this because it was a non runner when I got it

[willmason1975 10]

Those pictures of it being painted were in an old WW2 ammunition bunker. My son thinks it's funny how I resurrected a German car in a British war bunker made to destroy germany!
