Its a Disease... a big red one

got front coils in, wound them up ready for a RWC, think its still a little low.
got rear bumper on, parcelshelf in. Some seatbelts in.

Still need to tighten engine mounts, adjust gear links, seatbelts, clips to hold rear seat in. test out the wiring and get engine running.
In no rush,

need to adjust timing and mixture a tad, but it holds idle well, start pretty quick.
Has a small oil leak somewhere, will hunt that down asap.

Will get a vid up once ive tightened up exhaust and stuff. sounds like a tractor

Good work, Dan !! It looks really good with black rims, perhaps you can go in that direction haha. Red on black looks the goods

[GRN_VAGN]

cheers, unsure on rims, or colour yet.
Main focus is fixing all the bugs and getting it going.

Found a Coolant leak at back of head, one at the waterpump.
Small bits of oil around sump...

[GRN_VAGN]

so its about 95% complete and ready for rego,

needs brakes bleed, interior light. raise the rear a tad, flush cooling system and put coolant in.
Couple pics of progress, and one of a unwanted intruder when heater fan turned on!!




PO mod, good luck having the hatch landing on your head

Thanks, doesnt look too bad
Will give a quick polish to get some marks out. other then im going to drive the crap out of it

[GRN_VAGN]

basically ready for a RWC now, need to bleed brakes when i can get a helping hand. and source a interior light.

Quick snap for fun. Contemplating selling it soon, either registered or not...

[GRN_VAGN]

not much has happened lately,
Got the engine mount replaced and timing done. Just needs a good run.
Small oil leak from rocker cover, good excuse to go a rubber gasket.

Looks like this atm


Finding myself playing with this more

Get back to the Golf Dan....
I only sell them to you so they get on the road! LOL
I've had what... 12, and of those 12 I've sold you a few... What I have left are either in parts, half parted or sitting waiting for the attention you give them, that they deserve!

You are doing a great job! Win Tattslotto, and keep the sucker... Black rims with those plastic GTi flares! You know you want to...

And to clarify in the first post.... I bought it with plans, then got talked into including it in a deal, then they did a reverse deal including it, which I had decided I had enough sitting around at the time, and this would simply get worse...

So glad you took up the small/minor challenge Dan, otherwise she'd be sitting on the front lawn still!
