Well quite a bit of stripping of the donor car has happened today, mainly because pikeys found where my garage was and have seen the donor car outside my garage, and in case they come and nick the donor, I want to make sure I have what I need.
First of all I had a look through the history of the donor, nearly a FSH, tax discs back to 1997 and this...
Who would pay that for a mk3 golf? haha. I had some difficulties in removing the rolling mk3 front end, as some numpty had snapped a bolt, tack the half of a bolt on, and run a crap bit of weld between the subframe and chassis!! This is what happens when you attack it for an hour with a lump hammer and a chisel
Then I dragged the running gear out
Then pulled the widetrack rear beam out
Then dragged the mk3 out the way with the trusty laguna and ended up with this
Made room under the mk2 front and ended up with a big pile of golf crap
This is the mk2 bay before I took the old 1.8 GTI downpipe off
Then me and a mate moved the mk3 stuff in
Stripped this rats nest out the mk3
Thought it was a good time to call it a night, cover up the mk3 and put it all away
Nest up, removing the mk2 loom, and bay cleaning!
