Laity's MK3 ABF into MK3 C.C Engine swap.........LONG
« on: 05 February 2014, 12:35 »
Right as it states above i ( I meaning mostly a mate of mine) am currently taking the engine out of my old MK3 valver and putting it into a new shell. Had a Dragon green 16v that I loved but as the body work got worst I tried to hide it by plasti dipping the car. Came out Okish but missed having something to polish and make shiny.

This is the ABF when it started out green:







And then white






I currently work at a Vauxhall dealership and yes I agree Vauxhalls are sh!tty (My Misses owns a sporthatch) but I can across a little gem of a trade in.  A R-Reg mk3 Colour Concept 8v with 120,000 miles! Now dealerships are known for kicking people in the plums for P/X but in this case I wanted to do the deal as I wanted their golf more than I wanted to sell them a car.
This was it on the day it was brought to the showroom.

How much do you think I paid?

The donor shell looks good, my guess is £300 - £400, that must be about its chop in value in the little book?

Considering you are a middle aged man now Gary you humour is that of a child under the age of 12.

And no sexual favours were given.

Car books like this.....
