Who loves the Dirty D... 1990 MK2 Golf TDI
I haven't posted much here in the last little while but thought I would share my other toy that I have been fixing up.
Be as it may, this was a parts bin special. I had some stuff laying around and decided to jam it all together to make a not so nicely done but fun toy car / thrasher.
here is a rough infographic as to what went down.

The Story begins here... on the 10th of July 2015
-------------------------------------------------------
So I picked up this MK2 Diesel several months ago.
The specs.
- 3 Door, no sunroof.
- 1.6 Litre Diesel manual
- 240,000km on the body.
- The body itself is pretty mint, but the paint is ****
The existing motor is pretty well shot now.
It looks as thou someone has rolled paint on the roof and bonnet at some point in its life.

So the crux of this little fix up is
Make her a bit tidier, faster etc.
Low Milage 1.9TDI Engine from a 2003 Golf TDI
5 Speed Transmission
Quaife Limited Slip Differential.
Wide track suspension with 5 Stud conversion
Bigger brakes
Coilovers etc
Work starts tomorrow.

Although today I did strip the gearbox down this afternoon and install the LSD so that worked out good.

The engine bay as it is currently.

Re shimmed and re assembled the transmission and did a few odd jobs on the donor engine today.
1. Clocked around the turbo for Engine mount clearance.
The turbo itself is very small but it will do for now.

2. installed the rear engine mount to suit the MK2 Platform
3. Deleted EGR and started eliminating some of the unneeded functions (anti shudder valve etc)
Also yesterday I got my new Brake discs back from being Slotted
The new 1.9TDI Unit Injector engine.

That was that for the night.
- Next job get the new suspension up and mounted and the body rolling again.
- Strip out dash and ****ty factory wiring and begin the splicing and re-looming of the car.
