16v abf, yeah boy

[DUBY]

Spent 3 month in Sydney end of last year and pooped over to see the loon about a car. Before his mk 2 went to the scrappy in the sky I saw it and realised I needed to pull my finger out and do the deed so Golf loon, thank you for my madness.

Returned to London 3 weeks ago and removed from a crate in the garage a complete golf 2.0 abf which has been sitting around for ages.

Last night this is how she stood,

[joshyd-mk2gti]

[Golf Loon]

He didnt steal it from us, it was in the UK with his car boys.

Nice Garage setup you have there Duby.

Are you putting the engine in before bringing the car to Oz, or are you staying in Blighty??

[gldgti]

Now that is one seeeeexy looking car.

[jayjay]

sweet mk2 mate. 16v motors in mk2s are the graus.

[Preen59]

Very nice mate. Very, very nice.

[sports racer]

I am so envious of that garage.

And the car isn't bad ether.

Engine is in a now running, pics posted were pre fire up so now just trying to do all the bits I know will be far easier to do from here, back in oz for a month mid april then in the uk for a while,

Still have an engine bay to smooth, finnish a loom tuck and repaint the front end plus fit all the carbon parts on including some engine details.

Then rag it to death

If I come over for good it comes with me guaranteed, I'm sure it would cause a stir of some type and should silence some of the keyboard warriors at the same time.

[jamesd]

Definitely take this with you... loved this car at e38.

[valgamesh]

Looks like it will be a beast of a car when its done.

[DUBY]

It now lives and breaths, first run on the road in 2 months - sorry for the short video but only had an iphone,

While it wa locked away I've also managed to get another sponser so new audio system is on its way and air is on the cards, so now it will be in the weeds all day long until I hit a speed ramp.

Haaapppy dayys
