Update time.
Managed to get some work done on the MK2 this weekend.
Got the MK3 fully stripped out, and also got the MK2's old engine removed and wacked in the bay of the MK3 ready for MR Scrapman
anyhow some pictures for you
The ABF engine had to be removed because we are using the Gearbox and full subframe from this car in the MK2 conversion
The ABF engine is FORSALE,complete with Loom, ECU, Key and Transponder £250 ONO
We removed the full Subframe complete with the 288 brakes etc.
I have started to clean up the Gearbox, pictures of this will come another day.
We removed many more parts from the MK3, salvaged the bits we can sell on for the owner and recoup some money to put back into the conversion
many of the body panels were past their best and had either rust or nasty scratches
Rest of the bits will be listed in the For sale section soon
Now the MK3 was almost fully stripped (We just need to remove the rear Hubs etc), we moved back on to the MK2 which is about to have a whole new lease of life..
Paintwork is bad, but this will be sorted as its having a full repaint soon. but thats another story.
Our job is to give it a new heart, so we got on with removing the 200k Mile 8v lump
We have discovered some bad rust spots which we will weld and refinish.. luckily the rest of the shell is very good apart from the drivers front wing
some pics of bad areas are:
Under battery tray
Small area on bulkhead needs some love
Anyhow, out with the OLD
We removed the whole lot in 1 go, subframe, breaks etc all still bolted to the engine seen as we are replacing with the MK3 set up
I have my work cut out bringing this bay back to life...
Finally the last thing of the day was to mount up the MK3 Subframe
I have also been cleaning up parts of the engine
Inlet manifold, and throttle body is now back to its once former glory
