NZ: MKII 3 Door Project Car
Hey Guys, Meet ye ole bucket o bolts
It ended its last life as a resonably tidy Gold colored, Golf CL. It's previous owner decided to start on a Track Hack.
1x Stripped interior, MK3 Vr6 Rear beam, MK3 GTI Front Subframe & a ABF w/ 02a later the project came to a halt,
Looking a little something like this...
January this year she became mine... and after much "umming" and "ahhing" I threw out the ABF & 02A and have begun peeling her back to nothing to start from scratch....
The Plan.. (Very loose...)
- Pull Glass
- Pull Small Bumpers
- Clean cabin of all old fluffy sound deadening.
- Consider and Prep Body for new Paintwork
- Figure out a new powerplant... Preferably not FSI (evil direct injection sludge monsters)
- Fit new Powerplant & Dash etc.
- Make work..
- Find and Aquire aesthetics
- Strip and paint
Not entirely sure where this is going quite yet.

Progress this weekend (not much...)
1. pushed the ABF and 02A further out of the way and closer to the scrap bin.
2. Pulled all the Glass out of the body saving good seals where possible.
- as a result, but expectant, minor rust on the pinched seams that the windscreen mounts on to.
(Looks like im going to have to learn some rust repair skillz)
3. Started pulling apart the front Subframe peices and engine mount, will likely get these items powdercoated in a texture coat black... crinkle coat always looks good
4. Got some MK3 Fat fives sussed to get the shell off the steelies.
5. Also picked up my rallye grille, slampanel, lights etc etc.... will probably get the slam panel powder coated too!
