Nice work.
But what happened to the white GTI?
-
I still have it, I just needed a daily for the winter. In the summer I use my motorcycle to get to work.
-
The gtd has been sitting still for 2 weeks so I cleaned it up, gave it a good wash and everything.
trying new products: AF iron out

headlining is coming along just fine, it's really solid butt still has some flex to allow fitting. Still need to make a little bridge in the front.
Next up is trimming, some bodyfiller, sanding and upholstery.

meanwhile i spraypainted the lowering springs black and applied colored dots so they look OEM. Why? lowering you're car is a big hassle in belgium, better to pretend to have OEM springs. :facepalm:
tomorrow i'll continue to work on the headlining. I'm hoping to get it done this weekend or next week. I want to start on the sebring wheels I bought for this next week.
So to summerise:
-roof is getting painted
-changing wheels to sebrings
-lowering by 4cm
-change the steeringjoints
-allignment
-bleed the brakes
-fit the headlining, finish up the interior.
-fit new bumpers
-get the motor sorted out
------->have fun.
Needless to say i'm not selling it at the moment.
-
the springs, fully camoflaged to look like OEM.

Then I noticed oil in the coolant, had increasing problems with the engine, made it through the MOT though. However, it needs a new engine, badly.
So a donor(car not a kebab) was bought:

Sits like this at the moment:
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3856/14991257372_99330b6542_c.jpg)
still some issues to work out. We did a bunch of work on the motor prior to installation:
-new turbo
-new crankpully
-new crankpullybolt
-new gaskets on intake/exhaust
-new belts
-dieselpump clocked
-custom oil return line
-some other minor things
Engine has less then 60k miles on it. Basicly put it in an entire new front end mechanical wise anyway. Next up fixing issues and tuning it just right. Still running stock boost, going for more boost by winter time, rebuild injectors with high pressure setting, further pumpadjustment.
-
Impressive work as always.

they are going to weld it tomorrow, all the dents have been removed from the body, then it's on to primer, blocking and spraying the color on it.
Normally should get done by the end of the week. After that they still need to do the doors and wings. We're doing afterthing to make this an awesome paintjob, price isn't important.

jobs completed today:
-dismanteld the interior again
-cleaned everything, applied autofinesse dressle to just about everything
-vacumed like a crazy person
-removed old antenna wiring
-fitted new antenna wiring
-Fitted the headliner and everything that goes with it
-rebuild the driverseat
-fitted a G60 parcelshelf
-fitted real black c-pillars(the old ones were painted)
-refitted everything, sometimes hard to make everything fit the way it should.
-fixed interior light
i'm proud to say my interior is now well on it's way to perfection(in my eyes anyway). I'll post some pictures when it's done.
While assembling the car, I filled the doors and bootlid with dynamat xtreme. they really sound solid when closing and it's like adding quality to your car, to bad it's a really expensive product. While assembling some one dropped the windscreen, so a new one was orderd and fitted(tinted and sunband offcourse).

Something was wrong with the coolingsystem, I suspected it was the thermostat as the bottom of the radiator didn't get really warm. The fans didn't kick in aswell, it got worse and worse to the point where I had to do something:
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8662/15898640645_485b21ed63_z.jpg)
so I orderd a new thermostat with a lower temp setting(80°C vs 87°C), when taking this apart and testing the old thermostat it became clear that i didn't fully opened. So I replaced the thermostat with the newer, colder type (bit of a pita because of PAS pump). New G12 coolant was added and voila, result:

Since I can't find the correct sensor, I wired the secundairy waterpump to a switch in the dash.

I heard these fit, which model Toledo is it and do you have to do much to get it to fit?
Thanks
-
it's of a 1996 model, you have to cut of the leading edge, haven't fitted mine yet.
-
replaced the battery today, the new one has more capacity and higher coldstartcurrent while being lower so the IC cover could fit. I also took the time to straighten, clean and regrease the batteryconnectors, and modify the cover that came with the battery.

asking 10 000£ or 12500€, doesn't need to go, but i'm looking in to buying a new golf R. Choices have to be made.

Someone is going to get a very very nice mk2. Onwards and upwards though.
-
This might as well have come out of a factory. And would be retailing at more that 10k of it had. It will take a long time to sell that that price I think, but I still think it's fair. Good luck with sale, beautiful car.

stuff to remove orange peel from the paint:
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7295/16194681847_e9d611aa3d_c.jpg)
the paint has tons of clearcoat on it so I can wetsand and polish safely.
-
I got it back, i'm so happy, I really missed it. :smiley:
Everything is sorted out now
new waterpomp, clutched modded alternator pulley, new serptine belt. Raised boost, advanced pump timing, lda is now at it's max. And NO black smoke. :tongue:
Drives awesome, tons of low end torque, good midrange and enough top end (she keep pulling to about 5000rpm). Turbo spool up @ about 1500rpm, max boost @ 1700rpm.
Really good engine package now. We could go more extreme but a oilcooler would be needed. Had my oil up to 115°C/240°F when doing 100+ mph on the highway for about 15 minutes, that's fine, being on full boost all the time. GPS confirmed topspeed of 191km/u or 121 mph. Plenty fast for a mk2.
-
bought a mocal oilcooler kit, 16 row core, thermostatic sandwichplate

took apart the rear suspension (kw variant 1's) to replace the damaged adjusters, complete clean up was in order.
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7714/17300872172_bcf289358a_c.jpg)

Love this and the car looks awesome. I notice you wet sand polish and wax the car the a hell of allot you will be back to bare metal at this rate haha. Anyway why don't you apply a ceramic sealant? Gyeon mohs is a really good product I normally use a nano coat but when I applied gyeon I was amazed with the shine really glossy wet looking. Would look awsome on your mk2. Anyway I've enjoyed reading this thread I'm actually late for work now haha

I'm in love with this car.

Ken Great Job on this rig! I am in the usa with a mk2 Jetta ASV swap an GLI interior. I also have a partial GTD intercooler setup :P
I have a few questions:
1) looking for a Bonnett pad, where can I get one and the mounts? We didn't get them here in the USA and the intercooler doesn't seal well (high IATs)
2) Looking for one of those seat toledo skidplates, Anyone know of where I can get one (another item not here in the usa! I'm getting sick of cleaning the bay!
3) Do you have AC? I noticed you have a deep pocket under dash tray on the passenger side? It looks great, but I suspect it will not fit with my AC and power steering setup.
4) Anyone have any GTD parts they are looking to get rid off? I'm in need of better shape plastics :p
Great Car Ken and keep me posted if you need any bits from stateside.

1) https://www.vwheritage.com/191863835a-under-bonnet-sound-proofing-mk2-golf-jetta that's one option, not OEM though.
2) bought mine on ebay, replica.
3) I don't have AC, I do have PAS. Don't think the deep pocket will work with AC.
4)I don't have any spares at the moment so sorry.
