This is the other golf diesel we picked up in a 2 for 1 deal. Its a bit tidier than the beige car, and has a much nicer tan interior.


Up on blocks for some work on the suspension. The plan is for king springs and new dampers, urethane rear beam and front control arm bushes, swaybars, upper and lower front braces


Wheels courtesy of Golfloon, cheers. We also have a spare set of Cabriolet 5 spoke "tiny teddys"



Sigma front sway bar going in the back



This is the project motor, its a 1983 1.6IDI motor from Canada. It arrived here in a caddy. It has been rebuilt by VW Canada but has vast amounts of blowby and oil consumption. Most likely it will receive new pistons. Fortunately oversize pistons are still available for the 1.6 diesel.


In the shed is a 5 speed box, GTI brakes, oil cooler, TD injector pump, turbo exhaust manifold and k14. The motor is going to the machine shop tomorrow where it will be cleaned and measured. Then all replacement parts will be ordered.
