[GRN_VAGN]

SO its been a while since ive updated anything to do with me golf as its been off the road for around 7 months. SO the old Topic seems a little outdated and clutted. so making a new one

Since i have parked her up i have done the following

Mk3 1.8L
New Tappet cover studs
New Exhaust studs and nuts
Custom Short Shifter
210mm Heavy Duty Clutch
New fuel hoses, Carter Rotary Fuel Pump
SEAT Rear drums and Booster, AUDi Master cylinder, Pulsar Reservoir, Falcon XF Brake light switch.
Better condition dash
Better rear seats
Rewired most of car so all works now
13x6.5 and 13x7 hotwire rims.

Might be more, but there the main things.

Will be starting it tomorrow for the first time in ages so will update tomorrow with pics, and maybe a vid of it running

Pic for teaser

You've done a fair bit to it .. can't wait to see more pics!

Looking good so far. The yellow panel makes it look like a rally car

What model is the Mk3 engine? I'm considering a similar setup ... was just tossing between 8v or 16v, 1.8 or 2.0 ... and difficulty of transplant.

1995 MK3 1.8L 8V

Bolts straight in, just use al the mounting gear from original engine. you will need a electric pump though

Yeah that sounds like what I want. Was that the ABA engine? Carby?

Lol.

Anyway that seams like a fair bit of work done. Things i can only dream of doing due to my laziness and complete loss of motivation.
On a scale of 1-hard, how hard was i to do the rear drums hahaha? I need abrake upgrade.

Keen on some pics
