(i'll upload pics later)
I got a shell given too me by a mate. He assured me it wouldnt be repairable. But me, martin and ian managed to weld it all up in a week.
Then the old dailly made its last journey. The 3door shell had nothing so we had to take it all out of the old car. 9hours and it was all plugged in. turned over but wouldnt start.
Next morning went back out to it. Looked at the wiring and played about abit and it fired up.
The next week consisted of me playin with wiring til everything worked. It then say for 2weeks and went for mot. Failed on rear brake pipe and brake pedal dropping under pressure. Not a problem, took itback with a new brake pipe and went through. Theres alot more to this 3week build but al put that on with pictures. Cos we all love pictures. :)

So how do you go about making a pump?
-
Well we changed all the corroding metal piping to copper pipe and it was a little smaller, giess it built pressure better than adjusted fuel accordingly to make it fuel correctly still.
-
Didnt get too much done. Just madefuel pump tomorows the day I finish some loose ends
-

Good effort there.

i gave myself 3days to get everything swapped over and it running. I didnt think it would be in on the 1st day. I had a mate with me aswell but it diddnt take kong between us. Electrics were a ball ache though. But eventually I got everything working.
You can do em in a weekend when uve done a few though.
Did tku take bote of the 288 front brakes?
-
Did tku take bote of the 288 front brakes?
I did very nice. Wasn't wanting to go 5 stud, yet.
-
Was thinking of tt front brakes but then i'd need 16s. 5stud the way or some proper race ones ifyou have a big bank balance
-

I totally don't, not at the moment anyway. 312's will be fairly hefty on such a light car but having them can't hurt. Do Porsche rear calipers not fit, with a bit of fiddling as a cheaper way to get shiny red brembo's on the front of your golf.
-
boxter s rears do. I hear volvo 4pots go on with a little work. Ad rather do that. But ive not seen it done so dont know if possible. Will see how money plans out

-
Its got a 4-1 dan. And am on 5stud, happy with the size just want some 4pots. Been lookibg,at willwoods
-
im surprised at how imo cheap a full kit from someone like ap or willwood is for the mk2 :smiley:
You lucky git i wanted to be able to afford a 4-1 before engine goes in but unlikely maybe next year :tongue:
-
been with the engine since 96, same as exhaust. U can pic em up cheap if need be
-
Started to wrap manifold, ran out of 10m of wrap, ordered more. Will update with pics when finished. Gotta redo a little bit any way cos its just not good enough.

I too have always fancied Wilwoods! Just dont like the price! :grin:
-
Dan al get some mate haha.
Len I know there abit pricey, now am on mk3 brakes I have decided its not essential to have willwoods, just yey
-
they are more scene point brakes.. but they work better and look great :tongue:
-
Yehh but my cars not scene I dont think.
Also ali I try to be a perfectionist where I can
-
Oh I agree!
I wouldnt fit Wilwoods for scene points! What is that anyway?
Only interested in them for their braking performance.
Oh and because they are not Brembo!
-
scene points is when u follow certain trends to hav,ur car fit in. for instance, porker rims on a mk2 5door a few years ago. Or rattin a car cos its what the 'scene' is doing.
I think id have brembos, but willwoods or aps are better moneywise I feel
-
pics needed though dude! otherwise i have to read then check through facebook! :kiss:
-
Pics wont be up til weekend as my wrap is at my house and am at daves. But they will be. And joe not on fb mate. Haha
-

-
Ah I did wonder about the move!
-
Sunday mate, so its all go to move to the new shire. But ill try get an update in tonight
-
well i havnt posted in here a while, been busy with the move. av got the pictures of my wrapped exhaust just uploading and such.
so whats happened to my daily in the last month... where to begin
few days before i left for my new home, the wheel bearing got replaced as my grandad didnt think it was safe anymore.
drove 200 miles trouble free. then started stuttering and missing all over the place. fuels been adjusted and such, its not so bad but i might be able to get my hands on a low mileage a3 turb for cheap so im not fussed. ripped a hole in my exhaust from runnng to low. welded that up.
got 4 toyo tr-1s through work at a reasonable price.
o and a few new stickers.
ill try and update more as time goes on
cheers liam

half wrapped manifold
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2011-09-14_15-10-22_134.jpg)
fully wrapped manifold
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2011-09-14_16-24-54_49.jpg)
am thinking of doing my wheels a real bright colour so at the oment they sit in yellow filler primer
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2011-09-30_11-09-29_887.jpg)
-
god stuf lem hoping to see updates with turbo power in the near future
-
if my boss gets this audi to brake for parts am all over the engine. then ill stripp mine down clean, refurb and strenten to charge it
-
do it m8 as mine isn't getting re-taxed till end of november i'm stripping the lot down and cleaning it all up if definately worth it imo plus u get to see the full order of the mechanics and find every little problem
-
the charged lump will be for the mk1. found me a shell close aswell so i might start that in the winter months
-
i say do it :) will be interesting
-
That wheel colour just needs a GOLD top coat! :wink: :grin:
That wrapping looks a bit difficult! :grin:
-
gold hmmmm.....
what about a real bright yellow?
the wrap just started fallin to pieces which was annoying, but its doin its job so thats all that matters.
-
Maybe yellow.......
Yea I saw the fraying, what I meant by difficult! :grin:
-
i know, its a pain of a job when u get to the underneith of the car.
i just want something bright, theres to many red mk2s in the dursley area and i think i want to stand out more than lowered on bbbs's
-
TBH with your paint job as it is I think how the wheels are now is good.
Kinda matches your semi rat look! :smiley:
-
i thought that, they need redoing ne way as i scratche one when swapping the tyres over. ive always fancied a ratty looking car with nice wheels though
-
Well if you really want them "nice" it has to be gold!
But then I'm biased! :grin:
-
yellow
gold
there the same basically
i might venture to gold though haha
-
You may regret gold as it might make you want to paint the whole car! :grin:
-
well a gold car, hmmmmmm...
anyway some news, just timed my car up, was a little bit out, took me a while to work out how to use the old school timing lamp but its done now. thanks to dragongreengti for bringing it to me. car didnt want to start with just the key after so i turned fuel u a little bit and now its runs beautifully.
over the winter period i may weld my leaky sunroof up and possible keep the design on the roof but satn the rest of the car. i dont know yet though its still early days.
-
Glad it's running sweet again dude.
-
No I meant paint the car red! (but with gold wheels)
-
Cheers ali
I know what u ment len, I may join the gold wheel club
-
av got bored of the bonnet and roof design, so at work tomorow am strippin paint of the bonnet, those of you that know my 5door will see that i use to have a design on a ratty bonnet, am going for a new design and possibly graffiti underside of the bonnet, not decided yet. al get pics tomorow. :D
-
bonnets coming along nicely. Cars been sat broken for maybe 2weeks now. Just picked it up to work on it tomorow. So its sittin on a recovery truck at work for the night. :sad:
-
When is the new motor going in dude
-
am not sure yet. the cupra r i wanted is sold. but i have found an audi in a local scrappy wich is tucked away and still got the engine in with the loom. its getting sprayed 1st anyway.
-
20vT?
Or you staying ABF? I forget. Don't paint it gold, it's horrid colour on a car.
-
Its goin 20vt at the moment mate. But I change my mind. Last month I was guinna sell an by a ek9civic and turbo it.
Its not going gold. Don't worry. We have a few colours at work and have an account with someone who can mix any coulor paint and I can get body panels aswell. Am feelin mat black or metalic black atm

I might have a 20vT coming shortly too but I'm thinking of just selling it on as I'm just not feeling the F/i.
-
I don't want to build a civic. I just want my golf. Its how I like it. Well except am not sure which engine I want yet. U may have one. Hmmmm pm me the price u want for it and ill see what a courrier would cost me.

Accordin to google maps. And I don't think he does. Am sure I saw one on it the other day. I know the mk2 in there didn't have it. Do mk3s have the same one do we know?
-
Dursley is 100 Miles away from me... about an hour and 45 mins down the M5.. You are however on the way to my old mans so will keep that in mind. :cool:
-
Am only down the road then. Am also closer to motorway than dursley :D
-
Com on Liam pick up the pace get it sorted :grin:
-
Sorry jay :( am tryin to sort. Havnt had a lot of time though.
-
Vaugh is breaking a 16V PM him tell him I sent you :wink:
-
well been a few days, got a new ignition module. still no change. i have decided to trace all the engine loom wiring. its a long and slow process but am getting there. might be swapping engines out soon anyway, not decided which lump to drop in yet. will decide at a later date.
so on the weekend i did how ever get the golf in the back of the workshop. strted off with taking the windows out, door handles off, bumpers off etc. i tried taking more pictures for everyone.
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00002-20111210-1234.jpg)
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00003-20111210-1235.jpg)
i also decided to finish (or make more presentable the warped metal from wich the repair panel was welded in. sort the front arches a little more and also sort a few other little bits off that were annoying me a little bit
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00007-20111210-1339.jpg)

(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00004-20111210-1339.jpg)
and that person you can see is the mate that helped me sand and such. (coup)
we keyed the previouys paint up and used that as the base as i couldnt find the 5litres of primer we have sat about some where in the garage.
so on to the masking. :evil:
what a job it was to mask the back window up. we got it all sorted in the end though. took a stroke of genious though.
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00008-20111210-1551.jpg)
now the part i enjoyed was the painting, first car i have painted on my own entirely. the test section on the rear valance turned out perfect 1st time. got some runs in the paint on the boot and some other areas though which annoyed me. but we got the sanders back out and re sprayed them sections again.
-
so the finished product.
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00009-20111210-1627.jpg)
then started to fit stuff back on to the car
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00010-20111210-1902.jpg)
from the fron with everything bar the splitter as its mangled up
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/mr%20h/IMG00013-20111212-1310.jpg)

Seriously though, good work, did you do it all in a day????????? I want work space like that and a compressor. :cry:
Hope you sort your leccy problem out soon. :sad:
-
I'm sorry shaun :( its this phone that I had when I 1st joined. And yeh started it at about 12 finished at 7.
The workspace is much bigger than that, that's the tyre bay. Got a whole workshop around the corner.
Its suppose to be mat but the tin says pearl black. And then mat written in pen. So am not sure
-
I'm sorry shaun :(

Yeah Blackberry Cams are pap.... I have one for work.
Possible mystery colour then?... :cool: :grin:
-
well i usually have a new motorolla which had a very good camera but i broke it at work.
well im sure when we order some more black (satin for instance), we will know if its mat of satin. they could have just stuck the wrong sticker on. i'll try get a few better pictures today using a differant camera. :cool:
-
Good effort :cool:
Don't forget to inform DVLA of colour change.
You done the door shuts etc too?
-

-
It looks like ' satin ' from the pics
:grin: good effot tho dude
-
I have come to the conclusion its satin. My filler cap, bonnet and roof are satin. And it matches them perfect.
-
Cheers guys. I will attempt to get better pictures. I think I have traced my problem to ign switch. After 2 hours of wire tracing and seeing if owts broke I started usin split pins to test wires to act as the switch. More progress tomorow after I rip a few things out of the scrap rocco at the scrap yard. :) its my new donna car. Lol
Also on saturday am doin something with my wheels. Not decided what coloiur yet though. :/.

Av done something. Ordered a new inlet pipe other day as mines split. Got a silicone replacement through today. Also a metering head that works. Lovely and free movin compaired to mine.
Rechecking my loom to see where the problem lies as av changed everything but the looms. Also my paint for my wheels arrived the other day. Its very bright. :D ill try get some pics up later when am back from work.
I'd also like to thank dragongreen16v for bringing me some silicone piuping to sort a f**ked breather out. Worked a treat.
-
How bright?
And more to the point what colour?
(wheel paint I mean)

Nice to get these sort of issues sorted.. nothing worse than messy wiring.
Not sure about the Green but then it's hard to really see the true colour in the pic, will wait they're fitted. :wink:
-
Cheers shaun its getting there. Just need another quiet saturday to put it back together
-
I was being nice! :grin:

v got bictures for you len. i think dom will love to see me try get on the rollers now :grin:
also noticed a run in the lower part of my door when fitting the side skirts. my new phones showing sh!t pictures so will eventually get bettr ones up. :embarassed:
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-02-13_16-56-17_673.jpg)
how we let the silicone holding my arches on dry. rolled arches are a pain to sit the arch covers on
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-02-14_17-36-56_522.jpg)
fitted up
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-02-14_17-37-09_483.jpg)
little bit better picture. also going to get some more 5x100 wheels so i can actually paint my other 3 green
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-02-14_17-41-19_562.jpg)
front.
and finally how far of the dround she sits
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-02-14_17-41-47_445.jpg)
just get my thumb unnder the splitter.
the interier is to be captured tomorow when its back together (fingers crossed i get time betwen jobs at work)
-
Liam get some G60 steelies then get someone to weld a larger lip spary matt black, it will look Phat :grin:
apart from that its come along way since I've reviewed this project!
-
cheers jay, i have a problem with that as am on 5x100 and like the widetrack. may get some 15 inch steales if i can find some though.
wait... stop giving me ideas
-
Its doable and have to say its all in the stance been on ED38 too much :grin:
With that colour of yours it makes the whole car look wider and meaner it will stand out better than 1K splits you have to polish everytime you take them out :lipsrsealed:
Combined with G60 arches now thats an issue with costs of those
I like ATS cups another great looking wheel love to deep dish those if I had the dollars!
or failing that you can pick up borbet A's f**ked ones that need refurb, but spray it Matt black they look awsome for little money!
-
i could just get 25mm rear spacers. that'll push the rears to the edge of the arch.
donk do splits to be honest, just dont like polishing lips up and keepin em that way.
-
You really must get a decent camera Liam! :grin:
Maybe I should pop over and take some for ya!
-
U may have to len. My phone did the job once. But its an excuse to get to shows just for people to see it
-
looking good definately better in the flesh :smiley:
-
I movedit. Descovered aches need a little trim. But i can get over the ramp at worrk
-
picture of it moved to prove it, i can see that my rear needs spacing out atleast 25mm aside

Dnt think so
-
i have decided as of today. rip the engine out and front end off. all brake lines and such. then re-spray the bay and the out side on the rear arch. wind it up about 40 mm so that its driveable. hide the lighting loom and engine loom and sort of go from there. may even get a different engine in there if my new business pics up enough. (im told to keep the 16v)
-
Sounds like a plan!
-
good stuff lem and i reckon u should keep the valver maybe do a full strip down of the engine changing any gaskets needed and paint up the block and such maybe a head skim to bring up the compression to squeeze full potential out of it...
-
Y would i paint the block ian? I hate paintin as it is. I may strip it all down though and replace anything that needs it. Sump gaskets one thing.

(im told to keep the 16v)
You, winding the suspension up!? No way. :grin: It can be more fun to get the height somewhere decent enough that you can give it some beans without any issue. Mine's low but not slammed, nothing interferes with anything and it can even go over speed bumps with ease. :grin:
If you didn't put the valver back in, what would you have in it's place?
-
Yeh me windin it up. Wen takin it to new unit i ripped of both feont arches. A rear arch and both sideskirts. Then half my splitter so its going up now. And if i did it i would get a 2l tfsi lump in there. Were startin to brake caes at work so i can work my way to brakin a s3 and keepin the engine
-
It only takes 2 minutes to spray paint a bottom end, top ends are usually ok, so just a quick go over the rocker cover and all is well! :smiley:
-
even just quick paintin the block makes things look loads better lem take a look at my 8v lump now that its rebuilt with a lick of paint it transforms it .....
(http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z328/ian_barker91/P250212_1647.jpg)
just makes things look tidier
-
still not convinced lads. i would rather clean it all up and paint the rocker and the sump. maybe my inlet. cba with the block. although it might happen at this rate
-
if you taking the engine out anyway...........
-
nay aswell liam it doesnt take long to do and if ur clening up and painting the bay the engines gunna luck worse in contrast next to the clean and tidy bay..
also congratulations liam :laugh: your build thread has a more up to date picture of what i've been upto on my car than my thread has :cool:
-
No1s ever goi.g to see my pay. Gotta get paint for pay any way. Changed direction. Wherls are now off black and then the bays a secret.
-
today was a slow day at the office. So i thought i may aswell start on the engine bay. been meaning too for a while now. so 1st off was taking the wings off (one needs replacing) and the front end.
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-03-22_10-18-17_363.jpg)
i then got the trusty engine crane out to pull the 16v lump out.
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-03-22_12-12-25_670.jpg)
removed all my wiring and anything else that was easilly removed
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-03-22_12-28-03_835.jpg)
sprayed 1st layer
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-03-22_14-52-15_80.jpg)
sprayed second layer
(http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h367/lemski18/2012-03-22_14-58-03_683.jpg)
some needs flattening back and redoing before the final touches get put on it. still waiting to hear back from a guy about that though
in other news the wheels are now either going black.

Nice!

-
Shiny wheels on it?????
Arent you better off getting some seconds and spray them fella? It's just a lot of money for new alloys?
-
ive never had a set of brand new wheels jay. i feel it will be a bit different with matt paint and lovely wheels.
-

Okay buy ones that won't mod so you can tranfer them or sell them without too much so stick to black what ever happens because if you spray them or change them from stock you will loose money big time!
Need to see them photo shot piccys :cool:
-
ide keep em for a while i would think. if i like wheels they would stay until i really wanted to change them for somats crazy (dont think it would happen) black seems to be the way. blend in mor. haha

hmmm i'm not sure between the team dynamics 1.2 and the wolfrace slot mags
you got a cracking selection there though and i think i'de be swayed more towards the slots but then u gotta keep the missus happy ant ya :tongue:
-
i said slots, the centre stick out a little more than the rim. looks f**king awesome
-
What wheels did you get in the end Liam?
:smiley:
-
I still havnt decided so I've stopped my self for the time being. I can't decide you see jay
-

Snap!! Any wiring questions give me a shout i am pretty much on top off it on my conversion.
-
Sorted on the wirin. Plugged the loom that doesn't need modifying in. Just need to now sort the other bit. Got the wiring out of audi. Maybe start on that tomorow. Its hard going between jobs at work so only get few minutes here n there.
Ill get some pictures using a mates phone. Got my front engine mountin bracket today so engine will be in for good tomorow.
Only problem is that the auidi drivers drive shaft is far to long. Am going to see if I can swap the inner cv onto a mk3 shaft. Then ill be sorted on that sence.
Have to wait for my down pipe and exhaust to be made til next week as we havnt had time to close up shop and go see them. All in all coming together now. Just glad I had my mates 20vt mk2 to use as a guide to what wires are needed
-
Tackling the wiring today. I hope to god I get it right. Now. Does any one know where I can get my ecu decoded? Need some things takin off it that arnt needed and possible a stage 2 map addin at same time. Obv would have to be generic map as the car can't be moved with out en ecu.
-
I'm in the same situation as you with this, I've messaged R-Tech and Carbon off here and so far haven't had a message back from either, will let you know if I do :smiley:
-
Give Rtech a call they will probs just decode stuff and then map it after cars running so they can get the map spot on.
-
I've been quoted 150 by my mate who does it. That's for the lot. But I still need the down pipe n exhaust. Also inter cooler pipin. Every things on. There's not a lot of wiring to be fair. Less than I though there would be. Its also all in the bay ready to go.
Dave keep us posted on what replies u get back.
-
get some picture up for got sake ;)
-
Am on my phone. I havnt been on laptop in weeks. Al try load some tomorow after work just for you mate

-

im still trying to get my head around the wiring diagrams, i cut the wrong loom out of a mk2 so im off back toorow to get the right loom that i need and to get a new heater control facier as mine has been broken at some point in this build.
apart from this i am about to fit the rest of the stuff for my hydro clutch. also wondering the best way to mount the audi gear selector. looks like im going to have to cut the mk2 alittle bit.
-
What box/shafts you going for now?
Clutch actuator from Seat?
-
I've got the corrado pedal box n such so its all hydro. I'm in talks with a bloke who has an abf just sat there. My mate wants my box n that for his mk4 so I don't mind swappin my box out.
-
Ah right, fair enough, think i'm going for the actuator off the Seat for mine, so your going to use 02J?
Have you gone widetrack?
-
Yeh my cars been widetracked since I've owned it. Just waitin to here back from thiS person
-
i have welded some holes up were the rear bench use to sit. i have also managed to cut the underneith out ready for monday to fit the mk4 shifter. passenger side bucket seat is back in aswell.
on friday am picking up some roof gutters as mine are bent far too out of shape and also a gearbox.
ringing a man about a pipe bender tomorow, so friday i may have the exhaust and down pipe. pluss intercooler pipin finished. then just that wiring
-
What size diameter exhaust you going for? I've got a 2'' system after the 2.5'' qpeng downpipe but worried it might be restrictive, but too tight to shell out for a new Jetex system..
-
am off 3inch down pipe 3inch system. was goin 2 n 1/2 but decided if am making it myself just go for a 3 straight away mate.
-
Just have it exit straight out the turbo :evil:
