Keep up the good work. I have always fancied a mint mk2 like this one's gonna be.

Thanks everyone, get a proper nights work on it tomorrow

Thanks very much, I still dont have a clue what to do about vac lines, charcoal filter and FPR. will PM you nearer the time, cheers

Yeah think it fell through though, had to buy them anyway, they have been sold on now. some people dont know a bargin when they see it.

 

top notch

glad to here your going to be using this as it should be used and not have it as some trailer queen

 

FIT - keep it up!

 

thanks people, glad you like it

now for a little update

Again all parts are genuine vw

new washer bottle with lid and pump grommet



this is a pic of the original PAS pump



and the same pump with all new internals and a lick of paint. powdercoated pulley and fitted with stainless steel allen headed bolts.



This is the ABS pump unit, the whole of the pump and servo unit was in this condition.



after many hours of dis-mantling scrubbing and painting, i reassembled it.





also refitted the front wiper motor assembly, man i dont think i have ever been so bothered about a car as this.

till next time

thanks very much for the support

 

Didnt you have a driver that you were building as well?

 

yeah i finished the driver, drove it for three months then broke it to sell the parts, realised it wasn't what i wanted at all, fun while it lasted though.

 

Beautiful! Just awesome!!

 

looks like overhaulin on the tv!! good work

 

feels like it too ha ha

got tons done but nothing worth showing, but i did get something special through the post.

These are the 81.5mm 16v pistons for the block.





till the next update people

 

I have started to mod the interior too, tweeter builds.









Got some more bits powdercoated



also got he under car heat shields powdercoated and re-applied the edging tape and repaired the insulation.





also collected the bonnet and front bumper from the painter



this is my living room HAHA



cheers my darlings

 

Ooh, any more information about repairing the heat shields please? What's the tape that you used?

I've never ever heard of anyone powder coat heat shields. Will the powder coating survive the heat and flexing?

 

Wow...

 

Now that is what I call a living room!!!

Ian...

 

I had the panels sandblasted on the seen surface, then powdercoated in bright silver, i used normal loft insulation but trimmed down in fatness and size. i then used heat duct tape to seal new heat reflective sheets on top of the insulation.

not sure if the powdercoat will hold up but i'm gonna use it on the block aswell, seems to deal with flexing ok, seen it on ARB's and rear beams.

cheers guys, if you think the living room is bad, my spare bedroom is even worse.

 

For those that enjoyed the living/parts room pics

here's the spare room





I'm also rebuilding the rear beam in the living room 8)

put refurbed ABS ring onto the disc along woth new bearings



Bolted the new stub axle to the beam with new bolts and washers, New splash sheilds, new metal ring, cleaned ABS gutters, new ABS sensor wires.





Then bolted it all up with refurb'd caliper carriers and new bolts.



Bought a load of new parts from VW......again, but the most interesting part was this.



BRAND NEW CHROME REAR BADGE




Random shot



Also fitted ABS unit, pedal box, steering column, Washer tank reservoir, header tank, PAS bottle and new heater blower foliage grill.



Also lined the tunnel area with heat reflective sheet.
