hiya guys my names travis
i bought my 1st ever mk1 golf about 4 months ago and desided to do a 1.8 20v turbo conversion so the fun began so far iv stripped the golf out engine gearbox / interior / exterior I.E doors / wings / bonnet ect
iv bought my AGU 1.8 20v turbo engine with 57,000 miles on original clocks / engine mounts thanks to crazyquiffs / NEW AGU cambelt and water pump / mk2 tensioner and bolt and have also started to refurb bits and pieces
i have modified my m3 golf vr6 gear selector and fitted it
i have smoothed my front panel ( deleted front bumper )
cut out a bigger hole so now im left with 2 bigger holes in my front panel ( more air feed for the intercooler )
cut off my engine mount and re-welded were need be
cleaned and painted engine bay and front panel
i bought a set of bbs gti 2 piece split wheels (mk5 gti polo wheels ) sent them off for acid dippin and powder coat primeing also having the barrells powder coated black when i got them back i rubbed then down and painted the faces
all i need to do now is buy a m3 golf 2.0l 16v gear box buy a new clutch put the engine together and gearbox and fit it so with in the month il have the engine in my bay :D

sorry its all abit slung together atleast from this point il be able to update you and you no were i am with it :)
updates soon
-
Wow, what a project! Can't wait to see the progress on this one :afro:
-
looking good mate, how long has it taken you to get to this point?
-
awesome work mate
you gonna be hiking the power at all? Just thinking for anything above 190ish bhp it would prob be easier to put a K03s turbo on there while the engine is out...
-
i have been doin the whole project for about 3 months now the car has been dry stored for about 6 years maybe more id have to look at the old tax disk just to be sure
the plan is to put a ko3s turbo on the engine ( point missed ) i have had a word with the guys at Q-peng who will be sortin me out my stand alone management ecu and i should get about 230bhp :P and il also be runnin a LSD gearbox but that will proberly after the build i wanna get this built for a few shows over the course of 2011 :D and plus im abit stuck asin were to start lookin for one if im honast but with a little bit of luck these forums should be a great help
cheers guys
-
Wow just seen this and already cant wait for the end result, bloody good work so far apart from the colour on the wheels, im not too keen on them but hey everyone to their own.
Really good pics too as i have a mate who is the process of looking for a mk1 to doing exactly what you are doing now so this has been some help for me.
Keep up the good work mate :grin:
-
^^^^ that reminds me colour choice of the wheels is at random i wanted to be a little diffrent with things. YES it makes the boys wink ;) but if it just doesent fit in when the cars complete i shall be paintin the wheels white ( alpine white ) same colour as the car :)
-
Yeah, its not like you dont have the tools to do it. I was thinnking the same for my wheels, i have a set of bbs's for winter and ats cups for summer, want to have totally random colour and stand out from the crowd, i was thinking Lambo green for the bbs and cherry red for the ats's with polished lips?
Well your car does sound like it is going to be one little beast when it is complete, looking forward to seeing it at some of the shows, lucky that you have found one is good condition. I have a mate who bought a lsd gearbox from germany for his beemer, the company said that they cater for all cars and can make or recon and gearbox, my mate paid £285 for the gearbox including postage and it only took a couple of weeks to come. Can try and get hold of the company name and contact details for you if you like?
-
that would be a great help mate £285 wow thats cheap i was expecting something along the lines of £600 i have been told there expensive but yes if you could find out who the company was it would be a start :)
cheers travis

ok so i HAD a problem with my wiring luckily i desided to take my loom out of the car to re-wrap it so when the engine goes in its all nice and tidy with wires hid away :) anyway straight to the point i was takin all the old wirein insulation off and to uncover something un-sightly i was SHOCKED nearly every wire was either fused or burnt someone in the past has had there hands on the loom and FAILED :(
so luckly with many hours i have managed to sort it all out cutting out the bad bits and re-connecting each and nearly every wire with propper terminals and heat shrink all im left to do now is wrap the loom back up with some kind of insulation loom wrap but im waitin to do that as i wanna get the engine in plug everything up and what ever im left with on the loom witch i dont need i shall be takin away ( no spare wires )
pictures will do the talkin
one wiring loom

model - C FORMELE
haha cheers mate thats an old bed sheet YEARS old woundered how long it would take for someone to notice ;)
-
:o nice work. This was my idea exactly but now I will have to think of a new idea. I'll be watchin this thread.
-
Oi!
You can't come on here showing me up thank you very much!... Only kidding, great work so far and looks like you found yourself a cracking shell to start with. Nice going... As mentioned, not too sure on the wheels, first set of pinks on this site I saw was Dans (dmonday) silver mk3 VR wagon, that works a treat, not sure on an alpine White mk1 but like you we will have to see when done.. Great choice of body colour though, alpine White is one of the best mk1 colours IMO. I used to have one too.

:o nice work. This was my idea exactly but now I will have to think of a new idea. I'll be watchin this thread.
What? You were planning on a White mk1 20vt on pink wheels?

Damn, so was I :angry:

find some self-amalgamating tape for the looms, only sticks to itself when its stretched slightly, its fairly thick so should protect the looms nicely :AFRO:
-
cheers guys
shaun the plan was to go with white wheels but scannin the forums and most mk1 golfs i see are kinda doin the same thing if you get my drift :) i thought alpine white shell and chuck in a little pink maybe some blue in there some were and it would kinda spice the little mk1 up ;) if i cant pull it off then then il simply spend a weekend painting things :)
im abit confused as were to take the mk1 with interior do i leave the inside red and go with a red and black interior or paint the inside white and go all out with a black interior :S

You've already painted the bay white so i would suppose it would make sense to do the same with the interior... Red would be cool if you were doing a red White theme with other things too but since you are not it would probably make sense to paint the interior White and take it from there.
Shaun
-
yeah i supose thats the sensible way of lookin at it WHITE IT SHALL BE :D
-
white and light blue :cool:
-
the plan is to have the car white with pink wheels and blue trim moudings that go throught the doors wings and quaters as well as the moudlings that run down beside the windows and have a few pink stickers goin on ;)
orrrrrrrrr
white car white wheels and chrome everything else :D

Yeah i know..... Just messing as it sounded like you wanted to do the exact same thing just then.
-
Hey don't make choices of colours on my account :laugh:
Sounds good though, just the wheels but I like you say, its got to be done first before you can really decide.
Which poor fecker only got 2 and half quid for their Kenwood gear!
Shaun
-
I know mate. I'm not fussed on the colour of my mk1.
I'm going to keep ooking at this thread to see how everything goes in and that.

well for starters he'd need awsome welding skills for the mounts then good mechanical knowledge for the engine/ecu

hello mate to be honast the conversion is fairly simple im using the mk4 golf 1.8 20v turbo ( AGU ) with that you will need the wiring loom and you will remove power steering / aircon ect ect
engine mounts can be bought from crazy quiffs youl need 3 ( 2 gear box mounts and and 1 engine mount )
depending on how the engine mount is in your mk1 you may need to cut it off flip it over and weld it back on just in a slightly diffrent place ( i have pictures that can help with this )
you will need a mk3 golf 2.0L 16v gear box / mk2 golf 16v tensioner and bolt and befor the engine goes in i would advise doin cambelt and uprating the waterpump with metal veins as the standard ones on the AGU have plastic veins
you will need a mk3 2.0L 16v gear selector ( this will need modding i have pictures that can help with this )
then basically put your gear box on your engine mounts on and get it in
im as far as this so far. the ecu side of things is easy all you will need to do is send part of the AGU loom ( coil pack part to the loom ) of to q-peng and for a lovely £800 you will recieve a down pipe your loom back ( modded ) and a stand alone ecu ( once everything is in and you have plugged it all up you should be running 200bhp )
im goin to be running a k03s turbo so im hoping for 230 / 240bhp fingers crossed
obv theres diffrent ways about goin with the conversion but im more than willing to help anyone to the best of my knowledge
im a 1st at all this so this is all new to me so far im a paint sprayer and body repairer and have no mechanical history what so ever
theres plentty of helper threads on this conversion which = ALOT of reading :)
hope this helps

little update
stripped my bootlid apart today ready to start prepping for paint thought i might aswell start doin my panels as i have now gotta get another gearbox so im on hold for a week or 2 :( i also managed to save the original rear window screen aswell :) the front screen was buggerd unfortanatly :(
im going to be doing away with my rear window screen wiper and i might fit a solanoid and do away with the lock aswell but this im unsure of ( would look alot cleaner in my opinion with out it )

Nice one.... In what way is your front glass screwed? mine needs to come out to fix a rusty leak beneath the seal.... It's chipped on the drivers side too so I think I may have to replace it. :sad:
-
its got a huge crack along the bottom of it mate so i will be replacing it luckly it didnt shatter into a million pieces when i took it out ( i didnt brake the screen either lol )
if your careful when you take it out you should be able to save it but dont hold me to it
rust under a window seal can sometimes = major problems uncovering more than you had hoped be warned lol

Don't worry, this car has been stripped back to feck all before now. No rot on this car bar the blister under the rubber. I have a whole lower section to use for repair when the time comes.
Yeah I have known people to take a good screen out and get it back in, most who I have seen struggle is those that already have a bit of damage before they start. Or they are just too heavy handed!

ok so yesterday i stripped my bootlid :D
today iv smoothed it ;)

Booo, you may have lots of drive and not stop (i would too if I had a garage) but did you work too quickly without thinking about what it is you really want?..... To be honest with the skills and tools you have, it wouldnt take much to cut that sh*t out now would it.
Nice work on the boot! :cool: :afro:
you looked at mine yet?.... :lipsrsealed:
-
Cheers guys
the plan was to totaly do away with the bumper and have
as much airflow to the intercooler as possible so thats what i done haha but now i look at other mk1s they look a little naked up front with out a bumper hmm
mm i supose il just have to wait now intill the engine in
and its on its lows with the wheels on
shaun
Yeah i had a peep at your build and im liking the progress i
hope the mk1s goin shiney again tho :D top work tho

Well you may as well carry on as planned for now, get the motor in etc, see what you think of it when done and if you're not happy, you'll just have to undo your handy work and stick a nice littl bumper on there....
to be honest though I too think a mk1 looks naked without bumpers... sometimes a totally stipped out rally style one looks ok but in most cases... nah.
Some have tried to convince me to run without bumpers but with the way i'm doing mine I dont think it will look right and I think for road use you need bumpers!
Yes I want to go back to its orginal, stunning gloss black, realistically at least a year from now! :sad:
-
im based in norfolk mate - north walsham
Fancy doing a bonnet notch on my bora and respraying two audi a6 front wings? :grin:

I would love to mate IF i had such thing as spare time im now abouts to start a full re-spray and smooth job on my mates seat leon cupra R plus 2 full sides on my mums car
And the mk1 so i have my work cut out lol
shaurn i reckon il end up leaving the bumper lets hope i can convince you :D
-

Let's hope you can convince yourself. :grin:

You dont need a bumper when you have a bug phat intercooler hanging off the front :smiley:

haha im sure it will all come to ok :cool:
the intercooler will be behind the front panel but will be seen through the 2 big holes and grill :smug:

I have a lot of family in Norwich, i used to live there as a kid... Now I live about 20 minutes from Leicester in the midlands...
Why? You going to paint my car? :grin:
-
when you wantin it painted ;) i might be able to help a fellow dubber :D
-
when you wantin it painted ;) i might be able to help a fellow dubber :D
Now you see the last time i brought this up you said you were way to busy.... :grin:
Seriously though, I'm nowhere near that stage, I have done my own bodge for now just to keep her rust free and tidyish looking until I get her on the road.... Even at that point i will be too poor to afford a respray so realistically this would be months away. Not even sure how much it would cost me? And how much i could do to keep the costs down... I'm not scared of prep.
-
thats why i stated when are you wanting it done lol
well my respray has cost me £70 and i shall pay no more :D
i supose as long as you can keep rust at bay you will be fine and doin any prep your self is always better than nothing aslong as its good as you no preps everything paint is only make up :)

:shocked: £70... That's more than what I've paid for what I've done so far... But then i know the labour at a sprayers is expensive. Best quote I've had was something like 800. :sad: but then I know 70 is just your materials, not your time and effort.
My prep would probably go as far as being confident that the car is 100 straight, no dents etc and i certainly wouldn't want to go down the bare metal route as I know that is pointless unless the car is a rot box, which mine isn't... You may have to pm me and let me know if this could be a serious idea, me taking it to you one day and how much for what etc...
I could come to Norwich for a short break with some family or something while its painted. :grin:
-
yeah £70 is just materials thats my + side as i can do all my own prepp :D
wel have to sort something out nearer the time of you actualy wantin it done as i dont no how busy il be or what project il have at the time lol ;) split screen campers seem the way forward at the minute :P

Cool well make sure you stick around then.... If you can do a good price, say nowhere near 800 quid then maybe sooner rather than later. :cool:
And yeah! Campers rule, something else I would love to own... I'm just going to end up hating you aren't I.... :laugh:

wow, got your work out out there!.... ah well, i don't feel sorry for you because you have the means! :grin:

good luck with that option is all I have to say with that. :grin:
-
couldnt get a skin and to be honast would proberly involve more work if i did a few patchs wont take long to do and it keeps the shape of the door so when it goes back on it will have the same door gap as when i took it off plus theres no rot in the others :)
shaun yeah i forgot about the forum to be honast WOOPS have made an update tho as people show an intrest :)

Fair enough.... I must admit I was very tempted as I was finding it difficult to find genuine for a good price.
They look good though. Even one of my mine wasn't as straight as it looked off the car! :sad:
Blue and pink might look busy and you may end up painting the wheels blue too. :lipsrsealed:
-
tbh sometimes patern stuff can be better than genuine belive it or not
if the pink and blue is to busy then the wheels will go white and trims chrome but thats playin it safely haha

And whats wrong with that... it's a good start for a car that weighs feck all. and later it won't take much to up it.
-
Nice progress mate!
200bhp will more than enough! A guy local to me has a Mk1 2.0 16v track car, gave me a good run up the motorway. His is much lighter than mine of course and I had 2 more people than him, but he has a standard engine, so 150-160.

howd the welding go mate :cool:
-
Welding?? I give up with that. My mate welded my mani for me though. Mk2 finally sounds sweet again.
I would say mk1 is a priority. I wanna build 1 but got another mk2 to build 1st. Then I'll spend moneys on a mk1. Undecided on the engine so I'll see how this runs and then decide like that.
Whens it all being sprayed?
-
sweet :cool: 1 step at a time i want so much yet cant lol dont we all :wink:
hopin for the shell to be painted saturday but im not sure yet if not it will follwing weekend then im left with 4 doors so no major drama's

Im puttin 8s all round they should be a snug fit if not il
add spacers wel soon see tho :cool:
-
8s all round now that's cool
-
I hope so mate lol i wanted to go wide but not stupid and i have found the perfect wheels :tongue:
-
Its not stupid wide if u extend the arches. Just starts to look like an evil stance. The fact its got the 20vt engine just makes it so much more of a beast. u runnin stretch or just seeing how wheels sit 1st
-
I want killer stance but so undecided at the minute as the
project goes on il decide :smiley: il get the wheels and coilys first and go from there
-
Good thinkin. I keep changin ideas for my new peoject if only a little bit. I think it makes projects better when ideas change
-

Those look a bit like vaux' seats? Good shout though, I like alfa seats :lipsrsealed:
-
aha yeah there not vw seats :( but still there recaro's and tbh there a nice seat
-
Awesome seat. :cool:
-
aha yeah there not vw seats :( but still there recaro's and tbh there a nice seat
I don't see the point in paying through nose for a scabby set of VW recaro's when you can get a mint set for a 10th the price, swap the bases and hey presto vw recaro's. I have a soft spot for RS leg support seats, retrimmed to match :lipsrsealed:
Look like they will be a nice seat though.

That's well annoying. How come you got them to do the mount?

i know right :( because they sell the 3 mounts i needed to do the conversion 1 engine mount and 2 gearbox mounts

Yeah, will be on the case early next year.
Just VW Action in September. Hope to have the car in a decent state by then before taking it off the road for phase 2!

i hope you guys like debadged grills for mk1 golf's as i just purchased one :smiley: NEARLY bought a set of smoked clear front headlights and yes there E marked that makes them road legal :cool: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
OPINIONS PLEASE
-
Debadged grill... Meh. :undecided:
Can work in certain cases. Don't know until it's on.
It's your car, so if you like it, screw everyone else!!
-
I think it would look better with a badged grille
-
I was so stuck for choice i just didnt know what one to go for il put it on when i get it and post a pic up to see what you guys think i may not even like it yet aha
-

One thing that puts me off debadged grilles is they usually look cheap,finish wise anyway... nearly considered one for mine but ended up sticking with a later cabby grille which has the same amount of slats instead of the original that has 11. Needs to be slightly modified to fit. Also it matches the ridges on the BBS front valance.
IMO Mk1's looks their best with OEM Grills and black VW badge. even better in some cases with a red surround

Debadged with single lights (the single lights was another option I considered, then I decided I wanted to keep all 6!)
(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k207/inselhund/DSC_0055.jpg)
Sorry for the big post.... Does this help make sure you've made the right decision? I'm sure whatever you do you'll pull it off. :smiley: have you gone for a grille that keeps your spots?
Really want smoked lights on mine too, just not sure which sort yet.

Dude, it's kind of an ongoing joke purely due to the fact that you've done a great job on yours so far, everyone can see that, and mine needs your love. But, I understand you are busy and I am in no position to fund a job like that on mine at the moment. However, keep me in mind though as by the time you could do it, I should be in position to pay you! I'm looking at wanting to get a gloss finish on it when everything else is done and i've paid for my wedding next year! :lipsrsealed: I'm looking at at least 18 months if i'm honest with myself. Will try and get the satin finshed before VW Action at least!

Yeah late style mk1 cabby grille, just need to shave some clips off etc to make it fit. its what I had on before the smash so had to find a replacement and wasn't too hard to find on ebay.. I paid £10 for gen VW one without lights.
You will see it (all being well) although I'm nervous of you seeing it up close :grin: I best get my ar5e in gear and get it as nice as I can for then! not much time left!
There's an offer that can be arranged, sure my missus would hate the idea though. :laugh:
-
okay im deffinatly going to have to get a badged grill single lights tho chrome badge :cool:
atleast yours is road worthy not like mine my deadlines march next year weekend of ultimate dubs :smiley:

If you're lucky you'll get a chrome badge with it as most of the ones i found did, if not you can have the one that came with mine. :wink:
Only just road worthy :grin: exhaust is in need of love and so is the engine, but i see your point. not driven it for weeks now. :cry:

Hmmm, that might be difficult. :sad: not sure they did a 5 bar single light grille, also might be quite hard to find a badged single grille full stop, old style oem grilles can be expensive, last time i looked for an oem gti one it was over a tonne. (mind you it did have a chrome surround and surrounds are expensive, hence why mine is painted)
okay so im bob and im a proffesional swimmer :wink:
Wow even i'm convinced! :grin:
yeah few runs wouldnt hurt its there to be used and have fun with might aswell make the most of it :tongue:
Awesome, it best not break when i'm in it then! i'd never be able to live with myself.

In case you do go OEM THIS (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK1-COMPLETE-CHROME-FRONT-GRILL-/390330574882?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ae183e822) isn't a bad price!
Just looked at your first post and realised that you already have a single light OEM grille. :rolleyes:
I also considered some stuff available in South Africa due to the long run of the CITI Golf, not sure on fitment though
http://www.autostyle.co.za/product/16471/Golf1HoneycombGrilleSingleLight/ (although debadged it's different) Lots of other types available from them, have a snoop around.
-
it wont break i promise :grin:
i know i sold that grill and now regret it HUFF oh well im watching one on ebay ( single light grill chrome surround and chrome badge ) 6 days left tho :(
i just emailed pvw to see if they will do me a readers ride build thread :wink: i let you guys know the out come aha i wanna bag a feature next year pvw beein the main target :cool:

-
have a quick skim through james fords thread he done that sort of thing with his strut tops dunno how much youd gain and what the best way for you to do it would be, you'd have to be careful to get the turrets top in the same position as they are currently, working in a bodyshop i would have thought youd have all the equipment to be able to get it all bang on
http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=208751&st=4160

Surely it'd be better to set up the ride height properly once the car is complete and fully laden with all it's components?
-
^^^ thats why i put give or take abit on gettin everything in the car but im pretty sure it wont make the diffrence i want :undecided: il soon see tho :grin:

I'm sure it will settle down once everything's in.
If not, look into camber adjustable and lowering top mounts.

Theres not a chance that your brakes at the minute will stop a 20vt mk1 aha there pretty rapid
im running passat front disks
corsa b gsi calipers
Mk2 golf 16v brake servo
astra/vectra braided hose
and youl want X4 m12 x 25 with a 1.0 corse thread these are to hold your calhqers on
i obv havent got round to completaly fitting mine yet so im not gauranteein this is all right
-
Youl also want 100mm drive sharfts and there mk1 golf cabriolet drive shafts im also running a O2A mk3 golf 2.0l 16v gearbox youl also need a mk2 golf 16v tensioner and when you come todo that make sure you space it usin washers
-
Yeah I know they won't be up to job, I just don't know what to replace them with at minute
People have said about g60 brakes but again I don't know what I need

Be interested to see what this QPeng loom looks like and how it ties in with the OEM stuff. Don't know much about this setup. sounds relatively straight forward.
-
plug and play mate it recomends 45mins fitting time :tongue: aha give me a weekend... quite looking forward to it

LazyLunatic is running Qpeng on his 1.8T mk3 with it running rough it pulled something like 235BHP :cool:

Just been speaking to a work colleague who has a lot of experience with MK4's, 20VT's, transplants and QPeng.. He says it's absolutely fine as a plug and play solution and when setup correctly it can be very good. He also mentioned that most people who say bad things about it haven't actually got any first hand experience with it.
-
Wow, only just found this thread and read the first page! I'm looking forward to reading the rest :cool:
Just read all of the thread so far, bring on the more pics and more updates!
-
Wherry
il be running 200bhp with abit of luck to start with as thats all my turbo will with stand
i hope to put a ko3s on and an lsd then have it set up and remapped then il be running 240bhp roughly then obv after that its bigger injectors ect ect
Shaun
as you know my boss ran qpeng in his cabriolet same engine ect and was fine it ran and drove fine
Dan
cheers mate i hope to have some good updates now as itl be running soonish
-
QPeng is not to some people's taste i know but they are a very well known company offering 1.8t and 2.0tfsi plug and play which no one else does and a lot of people say its great but a few are against it for whatever reasons.. At the end of the day its relatively cheap for a plug and play kit so all you need to source is all the running gear.. i like it :smiley:
-
Agreed tech i personaly i think its very good and relatively easy to work with from other peoples
experience its just the £1300 price tag i dont like :sick:
-
Yer price tag is not great but what can you do if your not confident splicing wires and all that its a good price to pay it means you could do the conversion sub 2k but have a quality loom and such.. plus you can spec if your running cable or wire TB and what turbo etc so is really good for average joe buying a 1.8t for a conversion as all basis are covered
-
Small update
I got my engine moumt today fitted it and now my bonnet finaly shuts :grin
-
what a nightmare my breaks are bein aha... first of all i couldnt find a bolt to hold my calipers to my carriers so i went on the hunt to a garage called courtney sport who specialize in vauxhalls i took them my breaks asfor there of a corsa B 1.6 gsi ( calipers ) they supplied me with a bolt which was long enough but didnt fit the calipers asfor was to small so i had a guy make me up some ally sleeves which we pressed in the caliper bolt holes :smiley:
then i realised that i had broke a bleed nipple in one of the calipers so i welded a nut to it and wound it out ( 8 nuts later )
i shot blasted my carriers cleaned them up then had my new bearings pressed in ready for some paint ( abit back to front i know but the guys who pressed them in are mechanics and abit heavy handed so im just gunna tape the bearing up as best as i can and paint it )
i then get home and wire brush wire wheel my calipers and paint them with high heat paint put a new bleed nipple in and BREAK :kiss: just what i needed so il be welding more nuts to it now FAIL and after that i just walked away closed the garage doors intill tomorrow

Been doin abit of researching tonight on bigger turbos
im goin with the k03s which is one up from my k03
with a Qpeng managment and a k03s turbo il get 230bhp which to me is more
than enough in a mk1 golf for the time bein... if i was to run a k04 id get 270bhp :sick:
And id be gettin through tyres as quick as i would petrol :laugh:
-
it is more than enough, especially to start with. Anything between 150 and 200 is mental in these.
-
Aha the first drive should be fun :grin:
update later :wink:

does anyone know if the 5 door mk1 jetta will be the same for
front and side windows all the rubbers all 4 door inturnals ect ect

I would expect they are the same! the only difference is the front end panels and from the quarter panels back, so ideal for what you need!
-

Sweet, as said in my thread, I might be tempted to take you up on your paint offer, but then I wonder if i should just wait till I can get the whole car done..... as its so straight it should be pretty easy for me to just key it back and satin it for now.....
What are those clips you used for the wires? They look pretty neat. I'm also on the look out for something suitable to replace the broken ones that hold the dash looms in place as a lot of mine have cracked.
You keeping the roof rack?
-
go to your local electrical whole saler or some were like that id even try ebay
the roof racks up for sale aswell everything has gotta go
and to your reply about the window washer jet.. the one on the jetta is the same as the one on my mk1 :smiley:

I'm not sure if its deliberate but do you know what you are? You're a tease. You could have just said all that about the seats when you posted the pics, but oh no, you waited to be asked.. Makes this thread all the more interesting. I was going to say something about the colour because of the dash. Glad I didn't. :grin: Nice choice.
I'm going to get stressed out waiting for these seats now and its not even my car! :grin: I can't wait to see this interior done. :cool:
RE: The washer jets. I mentioned it because mine are different. Late style (possibly a Campaign thing) mk2 type.
-
:evil: aha i dont wanna go with to much red il do half the door cards red the dash will be red and the stitching in the seats then the seats black the carpets black with black roof lining and pillar trims ect
im gettin fustrated already knowing iv gotta wait a whole month :angry: but still :rolleyes: it should be all worth it
THEN il be saving very hard for my qpeng i keep putting it off aha WOOPS
-
I cant wait to see this finished :) :) :)
-
If you don't mind me asking what do them seats retail at each ? They are gorgeous and will finish your car off.. Are they fia spec ?
-
Oh they only retail at a small price :lipsrsealed:
£1075 for both as for genuine go for £2000+
no they are not fia approved
forgot to mention they weigh 7kg apparantly thats pretty light
-
Yeah it is pretty light, standard seats weigh a friggin ton.
-
Be interesting to see what power you put and what mods you'll have running. Last RR day mine rollered 235bhp and my mates, who also runs qpeng, got 222bhp. Apart from the Forge TIP, all the other mods are the same.
Either way nice project dude :)
-
:cool:

SHINY :kiss:
-
:cool:

lazylunatic
sorry dude i didnt see your message :rolleyes: cheers mate yeah il be attending a few RR days with you guys il only be running 200bhp to start with as that is what Qpeng have told me il be running with standard mods but we shall see :grin:
just to keep this alive i got fed up of waiting intill next month to do more on this so i took the disk brake stone guards of the jetta shot blasted them and painted them.I had to modifie them a little so i could put them on with out having my bearings pressed out of the jetta and also pressed out of the golf's carriers asfor i totaly forgot you have to have your disk brake stone guards put on then have the bearing pressed in ' which i didnt do '
all i have done is cut a section out and rounded them off instead of beein held on with 3 10mm bolts they will be held on with 2 10mm bolts
rusty and modified

Didn't realise he was using Corsa callipers lol! Though to be fair that would have been the obvious answer I guess. I just thought that maybe they were the same but cheaper than a VAG counterpart or something......

Cool man, it looks lovely like that :) Two camber shims, is that about -3 camber on the back then? And I'm guessing you will have to adjust the ride hight once the engine, body panels and interior is all in?

i stripped the seats apart intill i was left with the subframes. I then ground the plate out that holds the custion in place and then got 4 bits of flat bar i scavenged and got my universal subframes ( i got with the seats ) and made sure everything lined up and welded the flat bar in place.

i then ground down the welds and any little lugs that wernt needed on the frames

i then placed my universal subframes in place and marked with a pen my holes that need drilling to bolt the universals to the originals

i then cleaned both subframes up and painted then dark grey ( like the originals )

and then obviously dashed home to try them in and BINGO :kiss:

I knew it wasn't his, i'm not a retard! :grin: Just thought it had way too many similar features.

this might crop up some were for you mk1 golf owners ( not that you dont already know this )
i came to changing my steering arm end on the passengers front side and figured it was a solid unit as for the drivers front is adjustable and getting a brand new solid steering arm for the passengers front is un heard of. so with this i took the drivers side steering arm off the jetta i bought and put on the passengers side on the golf and with the new end i bought i put it on and bingo 2 adjustable arm and now the parts are easy to replace

now i need your opinions on something in realy confused about doing aha i just cant make up my mind
you have all seen my red dash.. BUT.. the jetta came with a lovely mint condition series 1 dash and now im having second thoughts about the red one
(http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww245/travydubit/2011-12-22105003.jpg)
the surround around the clocks and the strips going through the dash id like to paint white orrrrr i just stick with the red one :undecided:
also made my self some dust caps for my wheels :laugh:
(http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww245/travydubit/2011-12-20184438.jpg)
-
Did you know that steering arm fitted ?
Please please please don't over do the white theme it could kill the car give it a contrasting colour if anything.. Just my opinion..
I take it Santa didn't bring you qpeng ? :sad:
-
i didnt know thats what people do intill i spoke to shaun aha im not even gunna explain my school boy error aha
i cant help but look at my red dash against the white and think ek9 civic type r :sick:
and no q-peng was bought by sant :angry: maybe i need a misus :grin:
-
Maybe just keep an oem dash till you decide ?
-
Really not feeling the white dash idea myself.
-
i might have just sold the series 1 dash AHA :rolleyes:
red dash it is dammmm my second opinion :evil:
-
The red dash is awesome! Plus, it goes with th red stitching in your alien head seats ;)
-
Do not modify that series 1 dash, unlucky for you it's the clock version not Tach. :sad:
I say stick to the plan for now. show it then change things after if you're still not happy with it.
-
Yeah i think thats what il do shaun i just get carried away with things aha
-
Yeah i think thats what il do shaun i just get carried away with things aha
Problem is that you obviously see the car a lot more than we do so I suppose it's easier to go off things before the car is finished. When you show it, it will be fresh to everyone else. Hence why I say show it then change things about after if you feel the same.

-
What do you need a new front panel for? Don't tell me yours is rusting already?? ;)
-
Aha like a numpty i welded up my bumper holes in my front panel so instead of digging it all out i think id be best to put a new front panel on it.. But then like shaun says just show it and do it all after which makes alot of sence i suppose
-
Ahh, forgot you welded up the bumper holes! Yeah, do as Shaun says and show it this coming season and then see what you have grown to love and hate once the season is over :)
-
you not now fitting bumpers are ya ?? I much prefer bumperless mk1's

Your plan A for this is a good one, it will rock at shows and should easily feature so stick to the plan, then make your changes and then you can show it and feature it all over again. :cool:
Get the front end ready for plan B. :wink:
-
i wont be running a front bumper asfor i cut bigger holes in my front panel for the intercooler to gain as much cold air as possible with out it looking s**t :evil:

I like where your going with the bumpers :) did you steal that idea from Brad Mole's thread on the mk1 golf forum? I take it your going ahead with new front panel idea then?
-

Nicely done mate! I take it your colour coding it then?
-
im guna re texture black it dude :grin:
-
Ahh! Don't you think it will look odd with just the rear bumper?
-
Iv gota finish the rear some how i hate bumperless rears to a mk1 golf yet im not a fan of small rear bumpers either so thats why i took the standard one and just tonned it down aha
-
I fully know what you mean, just think it could look strange as a whole :undecided: I look forward to seeing how it turns out anyhow :laugh:
-
Weirdly.. I think il pull it off as a look aha.
Fingers crossed
-
Nice work on the bumper, not your everyday mod, I think it will look ace. personally I think you should eventually end up with the same for the font.
-
Well into that bumper frenching, should look cool. Quality of workmanship seems good too :cool:
Did you use a proper plastic welder for it?
-
got it painted and also had a parcel arrive :grin:

How did you retexture the bumper?

Texture paint in click cans. Very good and handy stuff if you know what your doing with it. Can be very weird stuff to use. To wet = no texture. To dry = patchey aha

Alryt cool, yours is lookin good :afro:

Thanks mate. All is going well.. So far aha

Had to bin all the OEM stuff from mine, yet to replace it but share your concern with weight.
How much do you plan to do?
-
Iv got 40 sheets to use. Main areas are 4 doors / floor pans and gearbox tunnel. Any left over will go in the scuttle

Il let the pics do the talking :grin:

Getting closer every time... Looking :cool: and still loving the dash despite your recent thoughts on it.
Yeah one place I have to get sound deadening on is the scuttle/bulkhead if nowhere else.
-
Cheers dude.. Slight problem.. It sags a little :angry: usualy youd steam them to pull them tight.. Im not sure i can do this tho aha hmmmmm.
I paid £80 for 40 sheets of sound deadening from car audio direct. Its realy highly rated stuff. Il post up my thoughts of it when i get round to doing it :tongue:

What the dash is sagging or the material you've got stitched on it? My dash has sagged slightly over the years, most noticeable around the drivers fresh air vent.
Be good to know how you get on with the sound stuff as I'm unsure what to get when I get round to doing mine.
-
The roof lining is sagging so il have to have an attempt at steaming it :sick:
on a brighter note.. More trimming

Whoops, now the above comment is more appropriate. :cool:
Don't know if you remember but I'm sure I mentioned my doubts when you filled those bumper holes up in the first place... Ah well, it's like a custom job now, the OEM holes were too big in the first place anyway. :grin:
Reverse rake is easily fixed, just tilt the camera slightly the other way next time. :wink:

As said in text, going to have a look at mine tomorrow. Just ran through the issue I had with left over wires after the rewire job but the one you mention didn't crop up so it must have a home on mine.
-
front fogs mayb? i know i had to check loads of mine on the 2 and its all additional extras.
-
So, we have an hour on the phone together and all you wanted to talk about was your bl00dy electrics! :cry:
:grin:
Seriously though, I have done some digging and I have decided that you should ignore what that plug is plugged into on mine. Turns out that the plug in question is bridging a connection for the indicator relay and hazard switch but the male connector by default is left open and spare.
Looking at my list of wires for the Blue harness it states the following blue/brn- spare plug behind fusebox (indicator relay pin 2)
I can only assume this connection could be used for triggering the hazards without the relay via something like a 3rd party device, car alarm? I may test this theory at some point as whilst on the phone to you, disconnecting the green and black wire I had in it made no difference to the operation of my lights.
It's been over a year since I rewired mine from scratch and I was left with some loose connectors, I must have been advised to plug the black and green into the one you mention just because it fit! Seems like I still have a bit to look up on mine again now as they may be related to the lack of Warm Up Regulator (my only remaining electrical issue)
Here's the pic you asked for anyway. (pointless now after the above and your last text) :grin:
(http://s16.postimage.org/oii0ffghh/WP_001296.jpg)
Keep me posted (well you are anyway) and I will keep digging.
-

my word! thats beautiful! oooooooooooh i need a mk1 in my life! top job
-
What a great turn around man! Fantastic work! Travis, you know we need some interior shots up! And two things, Its absolutely puurrrfik, but for me I would loose the grill eyelid spoiler thing, and you need to black out that part of the front panel that shows up through the grill in photos!
Fantastic work though, and get up those interior shots!!!
-
thanks guys..
dan the eyebrow isent fixed just placed aha just quite liked it as it gave it that grumpy look but id get bored of it anyway aha and yeah i was thinking that funny enough il prob paint that bit over the weekend aswell as a few bits on the engine just for now :smiley:
-
too nice...amazing!!!
-
OMFG. :shocked: It's beautiful!
Don't change a fcuking thing. Not yet anyway. I miss the grumpy look. I had it a couple of times. Was tempted to put mine back on recently :lipsrsealed:
Looking at the front of yours, I would be tempted to put the duck bill back on in black.
As for the support bars behind the grille showing, leave it, looks original and factory fresh right now.
Once you've got it out and about and admired, you can tweak as you see fit. But right now, stunning.
Couple of interior teasers?
-
Stunning travisreeve, looks awesome love it! :cool:
-
looks awesome!
i agree on putting the black duckbill back on though :evil:
-
Looks great. I agree with a few of the comments made, black the support bar, front spoiler back on and maybe lose the eyebrow....although I kinda know where you're coming from with it fitted.
-
What you doing about wing mirrors as it won't pass a MOT without at least a drivers side one?

What you doing about wing mirrors as it won't pass a MOT without at least a drivers side one?
Seriously wouldn't worry about it. It hasn't got any front idicators either. These are just finishing touches that are yet to be fitted.
-
This. Is. Amazing.
:cool:
-
thanks guys :grin:.. im not sure about a splitter yet.. either a deep one or the thinner one i just cant make my mind up :undecided: the eyebrow will either grow on me or il just take it off and the wingmirror situation, im just gunna get a clip on one that hooks into the rubber i belive for an mot then off it comes aha.. there only finishing bits tho im still yet to get my chrome waiste trims.. qpeng this week :grin: :grin: :grin: thats all i can think about right now aha

Saw this in the metal on Saturday. Pictures don't do it justice. Looks so clean you could eat your dinner off it.
Wish I could of stopped longer but I had an 83 year old grandmother with me. Although she did comment on the car also,
"ooo that looks nice and shiny, very smart. Is that like your car but new?"
"Kind of, but it's older than the owner."
"wow, what a clever boy he is, can he do that to yours?"
"one day gran, one day." :grin:
Big thanks to this man for the Jetta bits. :wink: Very much appreciated.
-
Cheers guys realy appreciate it :D
Today i recived my qpeng FINALY :P

Thats the loom in.. Just have to mount the ecu and fuel pump relays then connect the live and earth and booom done :) easy simple bit of kit
-
Mounted my ecu and fuel pump relays.. Only temporary tho..
Bought a shallow sump from awsome gti
And im now hooking up a deal for an air ride kit
Its all go now aha
(http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww245/travydubit/a4e880be.jpg)
-
Okay the low down :wink: on air
Iv bought a kit from 'stance solutions' the kit is for the front only. Its 2 cylinders that fit onto the coilovers and gives you a 50mm clearence. So now il be able to drive the car how it should be driven then when im at stand still have it aired out for some major stance :grin:

How much was that kit if you don't mind me asking? Sounds ideal
-
Sorry didnt post a pic aha
(http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww245/travydubit/b0c690a6.jpg)
£375+postage.. Doesent use a tank just fills up straight of the compressor, if you do it that way the raise time is 10 seconds.. If you fit a tank and a better compressor raise time is 2 seconds, this is what il be doing
-
This air business sounds awesome! Can you get kits for the front and back?
-
Looking sweet so far!
Are you tidying up the engine or leving it like that? :undecided:
-
Just fronts dan :smiley: il run the rear slammed or as best as i can and the kit for the front is so i can use the mk1 how i want to and have it look how i want ;)
Toby iv left the engine and gearbox like that as it might not be any good as yet aha i know i shouldnt say that but id be so pissed if i cleaned it all up realy nice and i have to bin it aha il pull engine out over crimbo and clean it all up as i wanna tuck my loom and smooth my bay
-
Bloody marvellous..
-
Cheers dave
-
Cool, I have just been on the Stance Solutions website to have a nose about myself :) Looks like cool stuff! I do wonder if you can get the compressors cheaper else where though! I have a mini air compressor to use with an airbrush, as long as it can handle the PSI something like that should be fine................

i was thinkin the same, as the basic kit seems pritty reasonable but the price jumps up a lot with the compresser!
would love ths air kit on my jetta :evil:

Been on bagriders sorting out a compressor and tank..
Viair compressor 400c
Tanka 3 gallon ally tank
Both = £164.. Result

:shocked: a lot better then stance solutions offering!
Edit: just had a look and its a US site, whats shipping like? Or have they got a UK store?
-
yeah il have to pay shipping fee's and inport fee's.. my mate deals alot with these and reckons its not bad at all and specialy on something that doesent realy cost much :grin:
atleast il have a set up that takes 2 seconds to raise rather than 10 :smiley:
-
I imagine having to wait 10 secs would soon get stale! Definitely worth going for the compressor :)
-
only problem i have with stance solution is it adds about 30mm to the height of your car.
so if i had my coilovers wound right down (-120mm) but had stance solution fitted it would make the car be sitting at -90mm. i have my car at -85ish and currently fine to drive.
-
Theres ways of over coming this..
Remove helper spring
Or if thats already removed you then remove the cone shaped cup that sits in your springs that meets your top mount... :wink:
-
if you remove your helper spring on the front coilovers wownt the spring wobble around though when ever the cars jacked off the ground, in the same way as it would if you fitted lowering springs to standard shocks?
-
Nope.. Mine doesent anyway
-
hmm may have to investigate, was thinking about buying stance a few months ago but thought no point cause its going to add 30mm or so to my car and i can drive it around as it is.
-
To be honast mate it might not be the kit for you but it will be realy handy for me as like iv said the 50mm raise will be so handy as my sump sits so close to the floor yet i dont wanna run my car constanly raised on the coilovers
-
Abit of an update..
Fitted my down pipe
Give my engine abit of a clean
And a few interior shots

Rolled the car out of the garage, There was a bang and then suddenly my wheel had major camber.. Luckily the wheel didnt come right off the hub coursing the car to hit the floor trashing my sills and wing aha.. It only took me an hour to limp the car back into the garage in the rain. All in all a major fail for not having drive shafts
-
Gutted, but glad no damage was done. That would of sucked!

Very lucky dude could of been sooo much worse!

I think a video of this on the road is needed!

So after having the swine for the last week being thrown off course i made a start on fitting my air ride.. Both front and rear struts have to be custom made starting with making the fronts first then the rears as the fronts are alot harder to make and also making sure that i dont end up with reverse rake when aired out..
Here we again ( stripped out )
(http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww245/travydubit/95902EB2-FF6C-456A-96E7-B5D1A49853E0-43623-00000B1437C9323E_zpseb3b2ed3.jpg)
Front struts fabricated ready for test fitment
(http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww245/travydubit/857D2924-D527-4B7D-8E1D-D34841F9C379-43623-00000B144B1072DB_zpsf3e0aa50.jpg)
Fronts fitted and fully aired out.. I should still be able to get this lower as at the munute the drivers drive shaft hits the chasis of the car so a notch is in need of and i will also fabricate my atches in when the full kit is instaled
(http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww245/travydubit/969C98F6-197C-430F-AD23-F7769CB619F4-43623-00000B145635E77F_zps8edf9985.jpg)

as my little girl put 'ah wow cooool' lol
top work mate

Nice work. :cool:
Notches make me cry inside though. :cry:

Sooooo this is weird... The mk1 was mot'd and driven ( not 100% finished ) and then sold as I'm traveling australia for 2 years well another 14 months.. Then I'm coming home and all I'm saying is... Caddy pick up shell ;) and on that note il speak to you guys some time 14 months down the line. Just wanna say a HUGE thank you to everyone that helped me along the way with this build. You guys are awesome.

Great work
