New Beeza on the block

[Golf Loon]

Got bored at work today and had a look at all the bits i had lying around.:idea:

Then I grabbed this Ibiza 1.4 and ripped its puny heart out.

The rear axle went too. No swaybar and drums, wont be needing them...

Here is a clue to the next bit.

Front subframe is in too ;)

Waiting on a waterpump, then motor........

[h100vw]

Too much time on your hands Matt!!!!

Gavin

[Oneofthegreats]

Another one!!!

Christ Loon, you can't help yourself can you.;)

What about finishing the caddy or the 20VT scirocco?????

When your done up there, I've got plenty of stuff down here you can do.

One of them is my lawn's :rolleyes:

[Golf Houso]

Hmnn nice colour...

Will this be any different to the previous attempt? Or will it be just another straight out VR6 banger?

[Golf Loon]

Yeah someone has painted it a funky blue so it was the least I could do for it :D

The previous attempt is still well in the hands of William Mr Houso.

This one will use the factory loom and Mk3 gear and be good enough for a daily.

I am only doing this instead of the rocco as I have all the bits for this and no money for the poor Scirocco. The Rocco did get a Corrado interior in the post this week tho ;)

I am Toying with leaving it superlight 1.4 Spec, but the need for AC will hopefully prevail.

I also have quite a fetching blue leather interior kicking around too. :D

The intention with this is to do a quick build and have it running and ready to go sooner rather than later.

Watch this space...

[Golf Houso]

Very very very cool, thats all I have to say... and yes I think we will all be watching this space :cool:

[ibeezer]

Tis a nice colour that.

Bugger building a daily Mat you need a track sloot

youve got way too many sensible cars with leather seats and air conditioning

strip it out an bring it down ta wakefield soft lad

[Golf Loon]

So its gonna be a lightweight. The car is an early one and does not even have the cutout for the AC hoses. The heater etc all works so I`m sticking with less weight.

Took the dash out today and started swopping looms.

Finished the rear beam, 5 stud and brakes are all in, And my fully hectic new black bbs rims ;)

[Golf Houso]

You do this so quickly you should offer a conversion service :D

Pay Loon 5k and turn your beeza' into a ball tearer! Where can I get one ;)

[Mrk_Mickey]

Let's see those black rims Loon!

[GoLfMan]

holy flying crap batman!

good on ya mate, would it be that easy in my Polo?

You can have this one when its finished if you want.


holy flying crap batman!

Dunno about easy, but yes its the same conversion. Your Polo has a skinny track which is skinnier than even a standard Ibiza, thus the wheels would stick out a fair bit wider ;)


Let's see those black rims Loon!

Here is a not very good pic of em. They look better in the flesh

[dom123]

hey loon what you gonna be doin with this when your done?

[DVR68U]

everything is always up for sale ;) just need the right price
cheers brenton

[Golf Loon]

Aaaah Brenton, so cynical, but correct in this case. :duh:

It has got busy again at work and I dont have time for this project.

As the Car stands the Beeza has all the VR6 subframes, brakes, 5 stud conversion and power steer rack. Also the cable shift linkage is in.
Has 5x100 ugly bbs painted black, VR6 struts.

The 1.4 Wiring has been removed. The VR6 Harness needs to be plugged into the fusebox. I have the Harness and ecu from an early uncoded VR6.

The engine and gearbox are bolted together and ready to go in. Waterpump is new and Clutch and Cooling system pipes are fresh.

I`d get rid of all of this together for $3000.

Thats the price of an engine and box with a free Ibiza.

Or I will split stuff if there is enough interest.

I have a trailer and can assist with delivery.

[Jarred]

Bargain for that price imo. Would be a nice project. GL with sale Matt.

[VW VR6]

are you selling vr6 engine PM me please

[Golf Loon]

I`ll break up the package if enough people want parts.
Any other requests?

[Bug_racer]

Manual steering rack ?

[Golf Loon]

I converted this beeza to VR6 suspension and power steering.

I probably have another Ibiza manual steering rack around if you want one. pm me.

[Bug_racer]

Hoping you have 2 ?

how about we put all that in my mk2 this weekend when i'm up and you score yourself a good condition RV 1.8l motor with box :D oh and i'll put a camden GTI sticker on the car and update your site hehe

No worries. I reckon we`d need Beau and lots of RedBull to get that done in a weekend :)

[Golf Loon]

So I ended up selling the motor out of this project to help keep Boris`s Red Rocket on the road.

I also bought a cordoba last week that was hit in the side, but has only 70,000ks from new! It was 1.8 and Auto.

Given that the blue shell is nice and registerable, we had a mad quickie project this week. The blue car is now a 1.8L Auto, runs the full cordoba loom, now has ac fitted and twin airbags :) No Auto Ibizas were sold in Oz, so it amuses me that this is the first. We put the 4 stud gear back on it and kept the disk rear. It looks smick, and factory. I`ll get some pics tomorrow.

It a testament to VAG products and SEATs in particular that everything just plugged in from different years and models. i particularly like the SEAT wiring as it is much simpler and has less electronic complexities as the VW.

We plugged it all in, put a battery on and it started first kick :biggrin:
Gotta be happy with that.

[DVR68U]

and the 1.8l is a good work horse of a motor.
cheers brenton

[Golf Loon]

Thanks mate. I reckon the 1.8 is a good engine too. Certainly better than the 1.4 that was in there. ;)

Got it tidied up and finished today. Took it home for a run, rego tomorrow I hope.

Some sneak pics

That front splitter has taken more hits than Lyndsey Lohan. Nice job lads, bespoke 2 door :)

[jayjay]

shame :( that car could have been brutal. what happened to the subframe?

also, i like the porsche wheels. are they genuine? j:

i've seen this thing in the metal. that paint job is really quite electric

[Golf Loon]

Thanks guys. Engine Pic

It goes pretty good for an auto. I hit 150 on the way home :eek:

[Golf Loon]

Got a blueslip and rego today. No worries. RTA seem to think that Cordobas and Beezas are the same, so many engine combos are possible without engineering :)
Car goes great. Might keep it as a courtesy car.
