Mk2 GTi Syncro Build - Her Forever Home

Didn’t get as far as I had planned today.

But made a start, v band tacked on and first pipe in place.



Then onto part 2,



Then onto part 3, I can’t get it in so I’m going to have too put a band in as it straights up.



some welding, it’s good enough. It’s not nice to weld.

 

It’ll get wrapped. Although, it is only temporary. I don’t know why I bothered with stainless and V bands! It’ll get a proper purged and tig’d exhaust when it’s finished

 

Thanks. It’ll do for now. Just the rest to finish now! Then onto the rotisserie

 

I rebuilt the rack and painted it but being the muppet I am, I painted it once I rebuilt it, would not recommend.

 

Yeah but you need argon, we use argoshield. so I may as well just buy a TIG

should probably rebuild the callipers and get the car back onto its wheels so I can use them

 

The list grows about 30 points every time I think about it

 

Which bushes? Everything is lemforder apart from the ARB drop links, and then powerflex heritage range for the rear arms, and yellow for the pointless bush on the rear beam
