As most of you have seen a few of my build threads intend to get board quite fast
But I'm hoping this will be a keeper as the missis is going out of her mind with me changing my cars all the time :)
So here she is I will be picking it up next week when I'm bk in the UK
Only got the crap advertisement photos
But it's a good soild base to start the big build
It's a 1984 5 door 1.3cl 2 owners from new 76k and pretty much the only thing electric is the stater motor :)

Niiiiiice!
Been a long time since I've seen an "A" plated mk2 :cool:
-
Wow, an A reg Mk2. Please say you'll keep the small bumpers? Such an early car needs small bumpers.
-
Apart from some G60 steels and collies the outside will be staying the same just a good clean and maybe a respray in a more modern white
-
Sweeeeeet, best colour too.
-
Sorry for the pics :embarrassed:
If you look at the colour of the sky in pic 2 I only had 30 secs before it chucked it down!!
-
No worries mate really looking forward to get it back here and stripped down ready for the build
Don't let my plan on though as this lot like a good surprise lol
-
Ok. I'll not mention the big bumper's, pink respray and white venom's :grin:
-
Dam you for letting the cat out of the bag
-
Ok. I'll not mention the big bumper's, pink respray and white venom's :grin:
Don't you dare!

Havent really done much to the old girl yet as work has been flat out
But since the new engine and running gear will take a few months to finish I thought I would mot and tax it just for a bit of fun
After a bit of a clean up
Fitted pressed plates
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/691b225a.jpg)
Also managed to find a new old stock golf cl badge :)
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/52f64cf6.jpg)
And since the suspention was completely shoot I fitted the collies
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/b0eb4e6e.jpg)
-
Good to see works started :smiley:
Outside is pretty much there then apart from wheels and chrome trimmed rear bumper
You sorted the speedo or does it still say 85 when doing 60 :grin:
-
Yeah the speedo is very optimistic lol
Not that it makes a differnce as I have to swap the clocks for gti ones when the engine goes in anyway
It will be going in for paint aswell inc new under seal etc
Since its rot free I would like to keep it that way :)
-
Time for a update!!!
Well as quite a few have been asking rob about what's been happening with his G60
Well here it is:
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/274B8954-60AF-4BEE-A306-6395C02EEABA-9747-00000B56DE968465_zps221c4632.jpg)
After years of me trying to prise it from him I finally did it :)
Then i had to find a car for it to go into and that was the reason for picking up the mk2
The plan is to run the gti running gear and wide track
But the body and inside will stay as Standard as possible
This is going to be a nut and bolt rebuild that will start around the end of February as this will give me time
To strip, inspect and recondition the mk3 parts I need for the build
Also my 2nd child is due in 2 weeks so work will be slow for a wile as well
Anyway here's a few pics of today's work
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/A0E9BD0B-7F6F-4A9A-B47D-F444E3070FDC-9747-00000B56E7B5A6F7_zps7e57b0bf.jpg)

Well after stripping the mk3 down I was trying to work out how to get it out my unit with no wheels etc (the door way has a ramp to get over
So I decided to halfs is the best way to go lol
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/CE450F71-E221-4E45-9AD0-6DB58D12B327-14394-00000FE96B6D1272_zpsa649fff1.jpg)
Then laid out all the useful parts that need to get painted etc
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/8EBA0685-174F-4977-8DB0-4E69291FB073-14394-00000FE979BF8A76_zps1c468b0a.jpg)
Gave the engine a bit of a degrease but still a long way to go
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/C8ED3E13-266E-470D-BDBA-97AF83F6106D-14394-00000FE9844D07C9_zps9e0874a3.jpg)

Rob has a few more pic's of cutting the car up so ill add them later when he sends them to me
-
Glad to see work is progressing, still gutted I sold the Mk2 :sad:
Think most Mk3's end up in that state anyway
-
A bit of light cutting
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/5504FA9E-C152-4FFC-8EA5-11085873552D-14594-00000FFD9290B213_zps2f1507b8.jpg)

-
Well I spent a few more hours on the engine and its looking very sorry for its self, but at least it can only look better from here on :)
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/old%20pics/4373a69e45c5b951d6baa6cda5e6e2cd_zpse063fedb.jpg)

Mk2 is going to be an epic build :cool:
Seemed a shame to cut the mk3 up as I am sure it was a tidy one :sad:
-
Yeah the mk2 should be quite nice when its done
The mk3 was good on top but a bit to rotten to be worth saving underneath
-
A few bits turned up today
A mini spray gun & water trap to paint the engine and a few small parts
(http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm271/ianmorgan50/2DF79A80-6293-4F61-8B9A-504594C69BE6-2624-000002E36EA182D0_zps947516de.jpg)
And a new 65mm pulley and charger blanking plate

Bit of a update:
Engine block and head has been stripped and cleaned (acid dip under pressure)
Block:
All oil and waterways cleaned
New piston rings & oil rings
New small end bearings
New crank bearings and balance
New big end shells
Head:
New valve guilds and seals
New springs
Valves re seated
Cam oil seals
I'm waiting on crank oil seals and a new crank pulley that will be drilled into the crank and dowel pins fitted to stop the stress on the keyway
Here's how it's looking
