Post by: VR6_ROB on 26 August 2009, 22:20
Look what I got back today :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

cant wait to get cracking luckily i have a long weekend might be able to get a good bit done
looks fantastic only thing i need to do is get the us spec spoiler to sit better as the ends stick out slightly

i get the doors and wings as and when i need them better doing the car like this so i dont scratch
anything easier to get the wiring done to :?

had the edge of the rear window and spoiler painted shiny black instead of matt like last time
also de-seamed under the rear lights

whats the polished pipe at the top right of the bay for?
Title: Re: got my golf back
Post by: VR6_ROB on 27 August 2009, 20:23
heater intake used to be a sort of mesh grill before because its de scuttled i don't want engine fumes coming inside the car
so the pipe runs down the inner wing to close for comfort with the bonnet hinge though might just get away with it

had a nightmare day today but things are starting to come together slowy

a mate came down to help me with the brake pipes got one side done
I am trying to run them through the car i did pretty good in the engine bay they just
need to be a little more tidy not got the clips for the braided sleeve yet got a few jubilee
clips for now so they look a little rough

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/P160110_1714.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/P160110_1715.jpg)

this is where they come through they clear the pedals all the insulation to go over the top yet
so no chanceof them been crushed

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/P160110_171503.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/P160110_171502.jpg)

ran it through the chassis leg pretty neat just got to secure the grommets and put some
protection on the pipe

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/P160110_1716.jpg)

got my manifold back just waiting for the matching rocker top

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/P160110_171601.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/P160110_1906.jpg)

engine is ready to go in!!! weyhey
my mate has been round today helping to finish the brake pipes off
they are all plumbed in now just need tidying up and securing down in places

next sunday the engine is getting popped in if the weathers nice and all the front end on
going to get a full day on it then it should be plain sailing from there
not happy with my calipers so i am either buying new ones or buying a sand blaster for them

heres a few pictures of the pipes runs up the drivers side and pops out above the rear axle
through some gromets that were already there

fitted my freshly powder coated subframe managed to get the fans mounted to the radiator and got my rear engine mount fitted

i re-routed my power steering so it runs through the pipe in the crossmember and tidied it up
just need to mount the bottle somewhere trying to make something up to fix to the radiator

took the alternator off as it does not move seems jammed also removed the lower inlet some paint in it
and the injectors wont fit so needs sanding down at work tomorrow

sorted the gear linkage got it bolted back on gears are very hard to find though needs setting up
exhaust is on but its not right fix that at a later date

did a little bit more painting on the head

just waiting for the uj joint so i can get the steering back on track
and a couple of engine bits that are getitng painted so i can bolt the inlet back on

I unscrewed the brackets and moved them along then i just used cable ties put them through the
holes on the clocks and round the brackets positioned them infront of the bracket rather then in it
sits closer to the dash then

pretty much as ive done mine, but with the mk3 clocks being bigger than the mk2 originals you struggle to see the temp/fuel gauges, indicator/full beam warning lights and the row of warning lights at the bottom of the clocks  :grin:

i wonder if corrado clocks fit better?

Post by: VR6_ROB on 07 August 2010, 20:56
its mainly running through the chassis legs

the wiring for the water level warning light and brake fluid have been deleted to make it neater
and some wires are just re-routed so they aint on show

cant wait to get the other bits on the engine to hide everything else
Title: Re: VR6_ROB's MK2 VR
Post by: VR6_ROB on 26 August 2010, 21:06
cars sorted in the bodyshop spoiler has been trimmed to sit more flush still a small gap
might see if i can get some sort of rubber seal

everything has been flat and polished looks 100 times better
rear bumper iron is goosed need another one when i find one

probably want to move that to inside. I assume you dont have much interior inside at the moment. Its best to do it now, than have it snag on some thing later and have to rip it all out again

cant get them to work they just click had another play with the exhaust
sitting a bit better just need to make up a few mounts

Glad to see its coming together  :smiley:

If I had to pick at anything (cos I'm like that, I'm the jealous sort), I'd remark that the slam panel would look nicer satin black rather than white. Mine was orange and it annoyed me as you could see it behind the grill, so I changed it

Yep that would look good, its only the piece behind the grill/bumper than will annoy you over time, just like mine did  :grin:

I bet you'll have it done tomorrow, its only 2 screws for the grill and 7 bolts for the slam panel  :cool: :cool: :cool:

nuts, what a sh!tter.

Best of luck getting it sorted, at least it looks to be a simple repair. Looks great other than that  :cool:

Fifft make some nice smoked front indicators - you can tell they are orange in certain light so don't look OTT. Set on mine:
