Thought i may as well start a build thread for this to keep track, well..
My old piece of poop, that's now a little metal cube;
Started its life as a 1.4 8v, went through 13 cv joints with engine raised and chassis notched.. dropped a 1.8T in it with a K04-001 and ran it for a few weeks and snapped a load more so scrapped it..
Then rocked a 320, E36 for a bit then that ended up in scrappy to as i had no job to pay for sumps every other day..
Now onto the latest project, hopefully a keeper!
Picked up the 1.8turd off my good friend joerg, he already had the turbo setup which was a bonus as it wasn't even that old.
Turbo's a franken f23 which pulled all to well in his A3.
Got it back to mine and my garage wasn't in the best of states to say the least..
Stripped the very *friendly* person down.
I don't have a work bench so decided to make one.
Crackle blacked pretty much everything, can't be arsed with polished poop
Then built it back up
Pretty much ready to drop in the shell i'm picking up at the end of the month B) obviously i need to do rods and am going for large port head but i want to get it in the car and running before i do that in summer..
Got a fair bit to go before it's running but it's all $$$ and apologies for the iPhone flicks, will crack out the camera soon
