My Mk2 GT30 508bhp 500ftlb torque spawn of the Devil

Its looking great!! Is it going to stay Oak Green?

 

Not much of the oak green left now BUT it is stopping that colour as it is the reason i bought the car my favorite mk2 colour.

 

Found this the orher day, sorry quality is pretty poor but though it would be nice to show it wasnt always in a bad state like when you bought it from me.

 

Cant wait to see this when its finished. Thoroughly enjoying all aspects of the prep and build so far. You best bring it to a meet if its on the road next year?

 

Im trying to get it ready for march but im a 1 man band and have to fit my life in around it but definatley bringing it to meets!

Cheers for the pic love those wheels shame they wernt on when i bought it, It will soon look like how you would of liked it hopfully

 

I love this thread, can't wait for future updates.

 

Got the engine bay etched primed wich is a real pain as it dont stick to wax oil so removed all of that i hope and primed the bare metal. the front tubs were still bare metal so seam sealed them and then dusted with etch. Then i stone chipped the tubs and chassis rails all the way into the engine bay so now ready for filler primer and flatting down hopfull next weekend will se some colour on the underneath and engine bay.








Hopfully getting the wings fitted saturday already been trial fitted pics to follow.

 

Coming along really nice mate

Not sure if I can afford getting mine done next year, due to the wedding ect...

I was thinking of protecting the inner wings though and treating any rust for the meantime.
What would be best to use to protect it ?

Cheers mate

 

THe shell now is nearly ready im going to paint the underneath and engine bay first so i can start building the car only the sunroof and areial have got to be removed so it can be flatted to finnish the whole car.
The engine bay has been high build primered and flatted smooth the wings were fitted and stone chipped and sealed in side im now ready to paint tomorrow.









cant wait now as the building will start soon ive also changed my mind on the dta im now selling that and going down the oem route more to follow.

 

Spray booth now cleaned out ready for the golf tomorrow.

This will be my cars home for the next month.

 

In the booth now managed to paint the underneath and all 4 tubs the enging bay also got painted then laquered im very happy with the result but not with the iphone pics.

Well been working hard even boxing day managed to get subframe built and fitted gear linkage, tunnel heat shield, front hubs, inner arches, fuel lines, mk3 vr6 tank, rear beam shocks ect, exhaust heat shield, and a little more does not sound much but everything has to be cleaned before fitting and finding the parts is bad enough any way a few progress pics.






Back on it tomorrow hopfully get the brake lines in.

 

Good progress!!!

 

Small purchase today got this ATP manifold for the owen developments GT30 its not used just needs a bloody good clean up i might blast it as since it was bought 3 years ago it had sat in there garage another cheap find by me.
