Progress!!!

[GoLfMan]

I'll be keeping an eye out for your old girl

Update: Exhaust is done, the extractors are fantastic and it sounds and goes great! Mind you, with the exhaust leaks gone, i can hear every creak and rattle... So I put a 10" sub in the boot to compensate

Hopefully I'll get the strut brace in in the next couple of days...

pics or ban

Here are some quick pics...

First a quick coat of gunmetal to some bits in the engine bay. Not a colour match, but better than rusty red lol





Then the clean-up job in the boot...





No pics of the sub/amp yet, I suspect it's responsible for my electrical gremlins, so it's been removed for the moment. I will put pics up after I make the fake floor though...

Cheers...

Looks sweet John!

I just cant seem to be able to keep my boot so clean with all the shiit weather we have been having!!

wait up its sunny today!!!
time to get the elbow grease out again!

[Golfer]

Car is still not running, I'm going to get it towed to the auto-electrician tomorrow, as I just cannot get the darn thing to produce a spark...

Took some night pics with it out the front of my house (as it won't start I can't drive it up the hill into the garage ) Apologies for the filthy state of it...







Cheers

I'm offering the Mk2 for sale, but to VWW members only... I want to see it go to a good home if i decide to sell it...

Wow I'm surprised to read this one John. This thread is one of the few reasons I've been checking up on watercooled forums since I sold up and moved OS. You've put so much time into this car- i'd be putting it on a train and taking it north with you if it were me! My $0.02

[joshyd-mk2gti]

man, sucks that you might have to sell it. you gota do what you gota do thou. props for stating the negative points in detail [even thou they are tiny problems].

[Jarred]

It sure is a real pitty mate, especially after you just got it sprayed and everything!

At least, if it does go, i should be off to a good home.

[Golfer]

Well, I'm really just putting it out there to see if there's any interest in it. I'm not desperate, I suppose I could throw it on the train if need-be. Having said that, it would be nice to see the project go ahead faster than I can currently afford (time and money-wise) as it's getting frustrating not being able to make things happen...

[peedman]

I would love to take that car off ur hands but the car is too good for me to keep and prob out of my price range. It will be sad to see it go, hope it goes to a good home!

space will be made in the garage and my other mk2 downgraded to the lawn if i end up having the highest bid on this
