Money or the box...

[roccodingo]

well into the accumulation phase at present, many boxes arrived from Germany, UK and the US with still more stuff coming...





Been spending time on Anton's Mk1 clone, now with a built 2E lurking in the engine bay.



pretty well rewired the whole car back to VW spec ( colour code, wiring size, connectors etc ) building reliability into the car..

Yip Thats right! Once we started we couldnt really let some of the stuff go! Will be posting a thread soon about the build. Will be good to see the Rocco project in full swing!

Easter break and finally some time to get things Roccin '

Shuffled some of the stuff about in the shed and set to work..





took a bit of effort to remove the guards without damage..





But all came away intact.

Main reason to remove and replace guards is to ensure this weak point of Mk1 construction is protected against rust.





Requires a good coat of paint at the A pillar junction to ensure integrity.( top and bottom )

Inner guards and inside the guards themselves will be getting a coat of 2 pac before reassembly.







There's a few minor holes/ cracks to weld closed.





Need to close up the hole to once again fit a O2O rodchange mechanism.



More as time permits .

Another easter fast approaching !!

Only been nibbling at the edges of this project as time is a bit of a rare comodity at present.
However....

Managed some more stuff from VW Classic parts


Cleaned up a lot of bits ( dip, blast, electroplate, painting still to be done )




Trial fitted a factory A/C console ( only available for left hand drive vehicles from the factory as per golf Mk1 )


And salvaged some tinwork from older cars to replace the parts removed for the 1.8T that use to live in here...




Loads more to come back from the platers & overseas, just free time would be a blessing...

Currently doing an 020 rebuild / update for Anton's Mk1 golf ( Wavetrac coming ) so been making a few tools..

Looking good Grant, you've really done nice job on the tools for the gearbox rebuild! The rocco needs to get rocking too!
