Rutti's Golf MK2 GTI-(RR)

[rutti]

Hi all,

I have been wanting to post this since the day I bought the car slightly over a month ago, but due to busy work schedule and still learning about the car, this thread was delayed. Anyway, here it is... my GTI-RR!
Anyway you might ask why GTI-(RR)... cos its a got a permanent Roof Rack ...

Not exactly in mint condition and requires some love. But I am enjoying every minute trying to fix it.
Hopefully I have time and funds to restore the interior. And of course to get it on the road to have some fun!

Things to do:-
1. Convert from Carb back to Digifant (electronic ignition will not work properly with carb ) - In progress
2. Replace heater core (appears the hoses been disconnected)
3. Replace suspension (still on stock)
4. Restore interior (I want those recaros back!!)
5. Delete Roof Rack

Started putting the Digifant system back last weekend.


What the engine bay looked like with Weber 32/36



Parts galore!



First was the Fuel Pump housing assembly... Had to patch up 2 minor hairline cracks on the accumulator. Fuel supply (hard plasticky)hose from filter and fuel tank appears to have been cut off. So looking to add fittings to join with rubber fuel hose to complete the connection



Found lube oil leaks possibly from end of dipstick tube. Is there an oring or something i can replace?

Good work on the purchase.

Let me know if you want/need any pointers on the heater core swap out. You'll probably need to restore the foam on the heater box doors as well.

I will definately get some pointers when i get to that as I want to get the car running right on Digifant before anything else. But currently, the coolant outlet from the block goes into the intake manifold (carb setup) and returns to the water pump, I assume that bypassing the heat core is simply routing the outlet from block back to the water pump?

Dunno, sounds like it.
