makes me wonder if i’m just going to ditch the abs crap and go with regular brake booster and master cylinder

[Housey]

anyways, took some pics today

this is where i left it yesterday

and this is pretty much where i left it today damn this car has a lot of wires

hopefully not many days until this finds its way down under the hood

[Housey]

if you read my post once more you’ll se my problem the problem is that the abs harness comes from the passengerside on the car, not on the drivers side as the passat (LHD)

[Housey]

damn, just had a setback which i’m not sure on how i’m supposed to fix..

the ABS wiring comes from the passengerside on the golf, and from the driversside on the passat.. soooo… how do i fix this? anyone know?

[Housey]

it has begun got the syncro in the garage today started to tear it down

here is a somewhat crappy cellphone pic. didn’t remember my camera today

[Housey]

well, i’m no longer sick so things HAVE happend now

tha passat left the garage today, so the golf will get in tomorrow, and starting to tear the old 1P engine down

when that is gone, then its time for some cleaning, and converting to the O2C gearbox from the passat. with hydaulic clutch and wires from the shifter

should get good progress in the near future now, and i might even remember my camera for some pics, cause i know thats what you all like :p

[Housey]

ah, okay then it goes on the golf asap

thanks chris

[Housey]

that will be done with time as far as I know, the passat one does not fit directly over because of the brackets?. larger brackets on the passat one

[Housey]

been out driving the golf today in the snow, damn its fun

but, a little too understeered. a friend of mine has a 91 jetta syncro, much more oversteered, and way easier to slide around in.

need to get the rear stiffend up i guess, and more power, 98bhp just isn’t enough

[Housey]

i hate beeing sick

but, just for you entertainment, heres a picture of the freshly pinted rear subframe looks way better now

[Housey]

been a few lazy days now. was going to actually do something today, but got a little hangover from yesterday :p

but, i’ll sure do some more progress tomorrow

[Housey]

slow day today, but, i have painted the the rear subframe with silver/gray .. don’t know why, but, why not ? it will be like 3 weeks on the road, and its all gone anyhow. but, makes it so much better to reassemble

[Housey]

okay, so i should put a few inches of vacuum-line to it then?

[Housey]

so, now the rear subframe is down

took some pics of that dirty bastard

here it is without the diff

got very empty in there now

diff which is soaked on diesel, prepared to clean up the diff

so, which brings me to this, that little vacuum connector on the rear diff, what is this for? its besides the vacuum connector that goes to the engine compartment

[Housey]

ah, if they are all the same, then i’ve got a new one lying around from my old 16valver
