couple more
stuff has been happening! peruse the photos at you leisure! Gearbox being attacked too, 5th gear was knackered so is being swapped out for the ‘longer’ 5th (0.71) that i have in my spare box
cheers, im very happy with how its turning out. cant wait to get it back and build it up!
Update on the original engine.. Pistons and bores are knackered, now i could use this opportunity to do a engine conversion. Some people may even say it makes sense, but.. i say even then i’d want to rebuild the engine going in, so! Original engine is going to get a rebore to the max size, that with the 268 cam and PB GTi ECU should see me at about 120bhp which is more than enough for a golf on stilts i reckon
2020! things are moving on! we have colour! inner arches and bottom of car painted in colour coded raptor liner, Body obviously Montana Green. Starting to look bloody nice i reckon. Hopefully back home with me in around 3 weeks
Colour
Attachments:
wings and doors in paint, inside of wings painted with coloured raptor liner
screen surround is pretty good, same can be said for the fuel filler and the surrounding metal work! Soon be new any shiny though!
i think its more to do with T4’s getting more desirable as they get older. Personally i think a T4 syncro 2.5tdi late model, is the best you’ll get. cant see T5’s lasting 20-30 years.
of course im bias, but i think a T3 16″ syncro multivan is the pinnicle 😀Attachments:
stuff starting to get pretty..
ill certainly be chucking some wax in mine when i get it back! i guess that it the issue with a long term project, protecting new panels.
i used the electrox on all the chassis parts i removed, like rear beam, rear arms ect. then eastwood chassis paint on top. For wax i have used bilthamber stuff and dinitrol, both to good effect
