.....thanks jv!

well to start off my car is a 1992 golf mk2 1.3 ryder!

and this is the story of how it became mine:

i first saw the car on auto trader and decided to go a see it all the way in halifax! after a long debait  :undecided: and alot of head scratching :rolleyes: I decided to part with the grand total of £375 for it on the 1-oct-05!  :grin:
the next weekend i made arangments with a friend to drive up and then drive it back! we did all the normal checks (water, oil, ...etc...) and started home! as some of you may know that on 1 side of halifax there is a hell of a hill and the car was judding like crazy! so i had to drop it 2 gears and play with the cluch all the way up! :shocked:! This continued for quite awhile so by the time we reached the M6 i wasnt goin to take the chance!
I pulled over and poped the bonnet and discovered that all my water was used up and there was none in the pipes!
called the AA and he came and cleaned inside the dizzy cleaned the sparks and discovered my problem! there was a hole through the outside of the watertank that went through intho the middlebit and it had leaked EVERYWERE!! :huh:

so after a quick patch up we set off a got home saftly at the great speed of 80mph!!  :evil:

heres just a couple of pics of when we stoped at the services!







enjoy! :smiley:

well done quite abit in the last 5 days!
first of all i thought id fit my exhaust but then relised i better fit my rear Big bumper!
so i did and it was fine exept for on the drivers side were the arch is wider for the fuel spout it stops the arm of the Big bumper to go all the way in so looks....od!
anyway I then went anout fitting my exhaust and it went without much trouble!




also decided to fit my front B Bumper! I did this last nite in the cold and dark cous it wasnt raining and couldnt see very well!
My 2 light badgles grill arrived from sellers this morning and fitted it also! when i got out to my garage i looked at my standered grill and thought it really looked nice! then fitted my new grill and wasnt so sure!

take a look at the new pics and pm me what you think i should do either keep debaged grill or put standered back on!



(In this pic the side aint on rite cous the bit on the bumper that hooks on to the bracket is broken at the top!)


also off to cheshire today to get a new set of alloys as 1 of mine is badly damaged (thanks to previous owner!!! :angry:)
and ive decided to get my self a set of 16x7.5 azev a's as  liked to look of them!

will get soe more pics today when i put the alloys on!

Enjoy! :smiley:

1.the alloys wernt azevs but sigmas

Next mod i think is going to have to be some 60mm shocks and springs but then after that im not sure!
I dont know what route to take!
either:  1. leave the arches the way they are
           2. Get some GTI arches
           3. save up and get tome G60 arches!

Well was on the phone to the garage....

well to be honest its really not good news! theve flushed the system out and put new oil in after finding anti freeze in the last lot which explains the water leak! they also sed that my head gasket is on the way out and that my car was only running on 3 cylinders! well they replaced with fresh oil and the oil was just squirting out the cylinders rite past the piston! I know that alot of peeps wont trust garages but they owners of this garage are really close friends of mine and theyve sed with al honesty that its not worth reparing and it would be worth finding a reconditioned 1.3 engine!

so PLEASE IF ANY! HAS A GOOD CONDITION 1.3 THEN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get in contact with me!!!
email me at timej_1@hotmail.com!!!!!!!!!

ill keep updates on the progress!

but i suppose there is an upside to this all happening! It means that I can take it off the road for a while and when i get an engine it means i can speant some time uprating parts!

will keep informed!
