Finally out of the garage !
 

Got loads done today, got the car out of the garage for a much needed clean up ! watching the F1 at the mo so will keep it short with lots of piks


New discs and pads will be running standard calipers for now !







My GTI lump waiting to get my fly wheel back and all put back together



My collection of bumpers ( dimma ones for sale )



Then a quick clean !





Then i started to strip the back out and the guy who had the car before me covered the back in bitchermin !!! :wall: gana be a bugger to get off but a blow torch should do the trick ! anyone removed this stuff before ?







Comments please :y:

looking good man! nice project! interested to see how this turns out in the end!!

nice project mate looks better then I imaged lol I want those wheels for my black vts how much were they buddy

Yea amazing what a quick clean can do :y:
i got them about 3 years ago there 16" with toyos and i think they were somewhere around £400-500 i carnt really remember, mite be cheaper now tho !

Done a little photoshop to see what the gti bumper mite look like



This isnt my car by the way i just robbed the pik off somewhere lol !! :A:

yea undecided on fogs or insterts ? Hmmmm

insterts sound interestin, get some pics up of them so i can image them on the car!

i dont have any inserts yet. Think ill put fogs in for now and decide when its all built up, everything needs painting yet !
Lol spoke to the guy whos doing my flywheel its lightned as much as poss ; ) just needs to balanced and skim the face and should have it back soon then the engine can go in !
Also burning all the sound proofing out of the rear bit of a chew but should be done by sunday night !

Just black for now ! A few bits on the body need a respray too, will be doing it myself tho : )

seems ages ago i took the 16v out in the freezing cold on mates drive while his mum supplied brews and bacon buttys !

Ha ha naaa shes pissed at me as well ! "Im second best to your car" she says lol ive been trying to get her interested tho. Shell all too happy to take it out on the track when its finished tho !!! hmmm not too shure about that one :fcuk:
As for the wheels ive just had a idea ! i have a mate thats has 2 sets of team dynamics in black 15" i think , same guy i got my gti lump from if your interested ill have a word next time i see him.

Yea It has taken some time and effort ! helps having a works van and stealing the mothers car (rav 4 ) even tho i hate it, get some rite funny looks in it :homme: lol

look for white alloys, but how much does he want for the black ones??

I cant wait until its finished mate :y:

ill be off to his thursday need to get some parts off a 106 and ask nicely to borrow his engine crane. So ill ask him then !

You know when you think your nearly there and then you take a step back and realise theres still boat loads to do haha ! Was feeling a little un motivated down at the garage last night! But got my seats out and carpet ( the sound proofing was wet and damp underneath i dont know why its been in a warm garage for 6 months ? ) oh well its all in the bin now decided im going to paint the floor black or had o few thoghts of white ??? What you think ? I know its quite common tho !
still got to do all my wireing for my loom but im gana wait till me and my mate both have a day off and should get it cracked no probs then after that engine in then loads of prep for painting! Ive got full vt kit to spray , wings doors and inside floor and a few other bits. Im hopeing to have it done in 2 - 3 months ! We will see ; )

yup i no the feeling lol

white inside might be tomuch

black looks nice mate!!!

2-3months (better get your arse in gear) lol


you should take a week of work (holiday pay) and your finish it within a week :P

looking great mate

A few bits done tonight- been striping the interior and the relentless task of removing all the tar crap the last guy put in as cheap sound proofing !!



Got the bulk of the tar off and it was a rite bastard !!!! the standard citoren stuff in the foot well comes off really easy compared to what was in the rear. still a small layer left on that i will need to sand but ran out do sanding discs so.



And my collection of the offending substance !! weighs quite abit as well.



And a resent pic of the 16v , anyone notice any thing new ??? :p
