Can you still buy these badges out of interest?

LOL, you thinking of going down the auto route? [emoji13] Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Didn't they melt if you used them thou? Thought they were cosmetic but not really useable? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Morning Dox, yeah I did wonder that... I really wanted the revised non-rivited parts... problem is the first thing they ask for is a Reg or chassis number.

Am I right in thinking that the Schrick 268 cams are matched to go with the Schrich VGI manifold? I'm sort of leaning towards Shimmel 263's

Just about to look at getting my block back from the engine builders so need to look at chains.... Since the parts are obsolete from the main Stealers... and I flatly refuse to give VW Teeside http://vwgolfr32.co.uk/shop/VR6-Timing.htm - £377 for a kit that was £150.. can anyone recommend or advise which parts they have used? I can only find the Fibi Bilstein kits which don't have the revised non-rivited parts.

what 4 - pots are they GF?

Ahh ok no worries... any chance you could list the fan specs? Anyone remember who made the brackets?

AHA! this is what I was looking for! I was just searching this on google! where did you get the kit Jim?

I've done an 8v GTI before... really easy.. undo the sump bolts, juggle sump out of the way, pump has 2 or 3 bolts holding it in place, swap it over and reassemble with a new gasket. I even did big end bearings with the off. ;)

Hmmmmm that does sound like a lazy pump.... or maybe a dodgy sender? Definitely get it checked out thou before going to far... low oil pressure will wipe an engine out.

Hi Kip, Cheers for the link, out of interest do you remember how many cans it took? I'm about to get my front panel shot blasted so need to get something on it as soon as I can.

Just another quick question... can you use the MK4 tower with the standard shifter setup?

Or does anyone have a picture of the finished conversion inside the car? Does it look the same? Just bought one of Daves shifters.... and my car is is a gazzillion bits at the moment...

LOL! Ahhh you're right! :D my dyslexia kicking in again.. read it as a 57k motor which I assumed was a brand new one and the ancillaries were 6k lol

would be nice to have 57K to throw at an engine... You could probably have a crate motor imported from the Sates for a lot less with more power... ** LS3 $6k https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/nal-19301326/overview/

Could anyone list exactly all the parts required?

If its just a temporary fix to slow the rust down until the work is carried out properly you cant beat oil.. ether a can of WD40 or preferably Duck Oil as its slightly thicker and more oily - spray it inside double skinned areas and along and inside sills... or dilute engine oil with a little paraffin and use a pump trigger spray to get it where you need it. Once the car is in storage and dry, strip it out and replace rusty sections with proper repair panels, use a weld-thru zinc type primer prior to welding up and then coat liberally in Dinitrol - waxoly is ok but if not applied well it creates places for water to actually sit.

I think it's whatever was in the parts bin at the time as my 93/K has mostly late psrts, late shape interior, lights/fogs etc.

The MK2 engine bay and Corrado are almost identical... a Golf guide will probably be a good read if the Coarrdo ones are missing pictures...

It will be very similar to a MK2 Golf transplant, should almost be a kit with instructions the amount of them that have been done...

Yep I'm interested!

Very nice! Dont suppose you remember what product it was do you?

Nice spotting there Stuart! LOL! Thats just down the road from me... there also a blue (Mystic?) in Haddenham .. saw it drive through last night, parks up near the pub I visit now and then ;)

out of interest is that just satin black paint on your slam panel? - looks really smart, makes it look a bit more modern..
