Found this on a certain website -

I won't say how much I paid but it was far to low and you would have had to struggle to buy a decent branded 32" tv for what I gave! To say I am pleased is a understatement.
Plans - Dropping the Koni adjustibles and stainless steel exhaust from the smashed one and some other goodies on to it. Putting the deep dish wheels on and go from there. No rot on it and only 3 owners from new (1988).
Updates will follow................
:cool:

Yes! :cool:

Looks good mate! and cheaapp all the best :kiss:
-
Alright Jay, terrible with cars especially MK2's! Tally stands at 13 MK2's now! :shocked:
I was also shocked as this has been garaged all it's life (so they say) but it is not far off from being perfect. And no rot under the windscreen gromit area!
Drove back for 2 hours and it did not miss a beat, oh and 12 months MOT! Loving it!

Just gave her 12 months tax so all good for a year of motoring, I will sort out the suspension later this week as it is a bit to cold and wet for my liking (plus I still have a stoopid snotty nose and hacking up yuk stuff, not nice!)

Martz you know of any good alloy refurb people? You know my Oz 17" they have a little scuff on them and want to stick them on the 16ver.
Loving your alloys please tel me you refurb them yourself :grin:
-
He sure does! Lots of twists and turns on the roads near his house :evil:
Im no stalker but ive even stumbled across the price you paid on said website!
Bargain i must say :cool:
Gutted i missed it or i would of been traveling 10hour round trip again :laugh:
-
Today I got the badges of the scrappy one and have got them ready to paint to go on the old girl. That will freshen her up. What colour to paint them? Black or Silver? Thinking black personally. Changing the mirrors back to black oem ones too.
The Bosch system that goes with the K&N airfilter is going on too along with the stainless steel exhaust next week. Apart from that happy times.
-
looks like a tidy find mate.
all the best with the project ahead
-
I've just painted all my badges black as i couldn't get new replacements, there's some pictures on my thread if you want to get an idea.
-
nice Martz :afro: get those rims on and it will be looking schweeeet!
-
Painted my badges to freshen it up a bit. I really need to swap the suspension this week. I now have my trusty Snap On cordless gun with my Blue Point Sockets to assist me. Should get stuck in to it really!
Pics to follow at somepoint! :cool:
-
Sweet. Another fine example of a mk2. Gunna keep a eye on this thread. :)

Woo hooo, uber happer for you, looks great!... try not to loose too much of it'd old skoolness!

Did someone call? :grin:
The place I used is called Cas Coatings and are based in Bradford. For kerbage repair, shot blasting and powder coating in basic colours they charge £1 per inch, so you'd be looking at £17 a rim. It was about a 36 hour turn around when they did mine! :cool:
Oh and they did a quality job, there's also a thread on uk-mkiv's singing their praises as well!

looking good Martz!! :cool:

I have a fully kitted mobile unit for alloy wheels now, it is the best setup I could find. All new and the quality is awesome! That is my new line of work now. Keep an eye out for developments as we are in the process of setting it up perfectly before going live!
Martz :cool:
Ps, wheels refered in thread were done 3 years ago by pureklass best in the Midlands!
-
Mine need doing mate! No kerbing but laquer has got damaged.

lol, couldn't be arsed to go around to the garage this morning so done it outside the house. Easy access to tea and biscuits! :grin:
Just got back from the garage after trying to remove to dash from the smashed one, what a pig to remove. it's still in the car as I gave up, got to cold! Done a search on my phone on here for removal but couldn't find anything. Any ideas peeps? :undecided:
Gonna do the rear suspension tomorrow as that is far easier! :smiley:
-
Nice going in the cold... I think the issue with the dash in a mk2 is there are 2 nuts in the scuttle area as well as the ones either side of the dash....

No worries mate, I hope you dont have the problem I did.... I couldn't get the dash away from the bulk head due to the amount of alarm wiring that was strapped to it!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-20.jpg)
What are you doing there??? :huh:
-
Popped wheels back on as I went to take the konis off the other one. Fitting them in the morning. :smiley:
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-21.jpg)
gave a quick clean ready for the morning.
-
All done, and tested. Very happy indeed. It is a little higher than the others I have owned as they were coilovers/lowered springs but as these little gems are Koni Adjustables they are awesome! :cool: Next job will be to take it around the garage and get the alighnment sorted out as I am sure it will be a little out! :laugh:
Next week the smashed one will be getting scrapped so there are a few items left on it before it goes. :shocked: Check the classifieds for details! :wink:
Next job will be getting the stainless steel exhaust system put on. Hopefully I will do this next week. Oh, and dashboard swap! :huh:
Merry Christmas everyone! :smiley:

Soooooooooo, been busy with my new venture so not much time put in to this. But yesterday I got a few more bits of the broken one to use for Red Demon.
Plans for the coming weekends -
Fit K&N Panel Air Filter
Fit M3 style rear lights (for a bit) *
Fit Crystal clear front lights*
Fit Crystal indicator lenses*
Put on the stainless steel exhaust system
Paint Rocker cover and refit
Put on the RA's that I should be getting soon after I have refurbed them
Fit dashboard as the current one is cracked with age
And the best bit..........................................
Fit the Rallye front seats that I have just won on eBay. I did like the ones I had so I have been keeping an eye out for some on the cheap (and I acheived it on a budget!)
Pics to follow. :cool:
*Keeping the originals to put back on at some shows :smiley:

how did you get on with that dash removal guide? i need to remove mine soon, new heater matrix time (and I cba to leave the top half in place) :smiley:
-
I found Shauns (SoundIllusion) advice most helpful. Was on the verge of giving up when I felt under the scuttle area and found the 2 nuts (10mm) and they came of easily. It was just a few wires clinging it on for dear life but I managed to unhook them so no problem. Took me 10 minutes to remove. :smiley:

although it makes me wonder why i left the top half of the dash in when i changed my last matrix... duh
-
No progress as of yet, but took a picture this morning as I could not get to work due to the bad accident at Hatton Cross this morning (grid locked in the area until 1.30pm) so helped with the little one!
As she sits now (with the Koni Adjustables), wheels are from Chuff! :huh:

They come up now and then on eBay, price varies. Might see if our resident trimmer can get hold of the material to trim to match at somepoint.

That would work the same. No one would notice if it was an excellent trimming

I like those wheels, not the sort of thing i'd have on a MK2 long term but as wheels go they are nice. :cool:

That's a bugger if they don't then! May look at other cloth finishes then, that won't be for a while though. I guess I can live with a back seat being different! lol
Agree with you Shaun on the wheels, look nice but not a MK2 finish. The sexy ones are going on before I flog em! (would look awesome on a black MK1 to give it the total finish) :drool:

Tell me about it, pretty cool though. Starting to love the look of the shape this car is taking.
Anyway pics of Audi 14's
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-29.jpg)
May refurb today!
-
Picked up a set of Audi 80 sport alloys with tyres for under £50 last night, think of refurbing them in white or black. But also may consider a black Crome type finish? Also picking up the rallye door cards on the weekend, should look good! And hopefully agreed a deal for the rallye rear bench.
Anyway pics to follow of the wheels later as they are. :smiley:
All sounding good!... going to be tastefully kitted up when done! :cool:
Those wheels look a bargain for that price!
-
Yeah, well pleased Shaun. Got a job out him too, he said he has about 6 sets of wheels that need doing. First set being done next week! :smiley:

Awesome..... you'll have to drop me a line about your services.. I plan to do mine at some point but if you're cheap enough I may be lazy when I can afford it!

Small point but the Audi wheels are they 4x100 or 4 x108

-

No worries Shaun, let me know what you need doing and I will see what I can do. :smiley:

I also have this as a good read to see if I have any inspiration for my mk2

In black -

My mix, black with silver dropped on top (kinda graphite) -
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-31.jpg)
Loving that second colour! Looks nuts in sunlight. :smiley:
-
2nd colour looks really nice :afro:
-
Was having a little tidy up in our kitchen and found these -
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-32.jpg)
Result! Not sure how much of a difference it will make but will certainly change the rest Got a good neighbour to fit this as I have heard it is a complete pig!
-
I used the same ones on mine. Made a real nice difference for sure, tight rear end and no wobbles if you encounter a mid corner bump :smiley:

Perfect, will get the whole lot done in that case.
Agreed a deal for a Rallye back seat and yes it was way cheaper than Andy Carrol and proven too! Collecting Saturday. :cool:
-
Good to hear that mate. I am fond of rallye interier. if I had money lyin bout ad get it
-
Both wheels look great... second one looks uber posh though! :afro: :cool:

Unfortunatley not, I erm forgot then sold the wheels so that has gone forever now! :undecided:
-
ahhh what are you rolling round on at the moment then marts? and what is next for the red demon
-
Got a set of 17" for now but it's getting the 14" Audi wheels. Then some RA's that I will play with.
Next, fit the exhaust and work out why the battery keeps draining :undecided:
Choice of K&N panel filter or cone filter, not sure yet.

panel! then drill the lower half of the airbox (works for digi, i take it yours is kjet, so not sure if drilling the box would upset it)
-
Def panel filter. Not sure on the drilling if its k-jet. I know people who have done it though so should be okay
-
Yeah, done that to my 16v sounded awesome. Not sure if it would upset it, got a spare box anyway so will see.
Oh, other jobs are replace dash and sort out the heater matrix. And cut myself up in the process! lol

you and me both! although i was meant to start this weekend but got distracted :rolleyes:
the cuts you get are similar to paper cuts, sting like buggery! have the plasters ready.
there are apparently 2 bolts in the scuttle panel which often get missed when removing the dash
-

telling me about the sound, sounds fecking awesome when it hits 3k. cars looking realy smart mate prefer small bumper gtis
-
Yeah Rich you know that sound is addictive! Yep, I prefer small bumper now just grown on me again...... retro!
Chris, I found those bolts on the other one, you need to feel under as they are easy to miss.
-
yeah but it has a negative effect on the fuel guage :grin:
might small bumper mine but keep 90 spec trim, got to drop bumper off first and see what he body work is like behind it.

-
Looks really good on those wheels, shame you had to sell them.
-
Wheel porn martz
-
Yeah I know Wayne, needs must and all that. I am sure I will fine something else though. :huh:
Those wheels were pimping Lemski! :cool:
-
Yeh. I'd find me a set but they look too expensive for my budget of wheels
-
those wheels are pimpin! still not sure on the whole chrome idea, but the design is real nice!
-

Yeah that's why I said it was a shame they had to go... If he did some of his refurb skillz on them he could have coloured the center parts maybe the same as the audi wheels and just left the dishes chrome. Mind you if he did that i'd probably want them off him then!
-
lol. Cheers chaps, if I kept them they would have been done in black Crome (M3/M5 wheel colour) with the lip in silver. Total Awesomness!

Cool, I'm hoping to get a few hours in as I failed this weekend. other stuff came up but to be honest the wind and rain here has been a pain in the ass. I really hope the westhers good (dry) so I can finish mine.... i'm soooooooo close its becoming a joke!
-
when you getting the Audi wheels on it? :smiley:
Had a few hours spare late afternoon before I cleaned up so completed the set. Will post results tomorrow when on the car. I was pleased with the results. :smiley:
-
Today I managed to get the wheels on (due to not having paint in stock to sort out a Seat Leon Cupra)
So here we are, and I must say I do like this look. Maybe a wrapped black roof? :huh: Anyway, what do you think?

Whilst putting these on the car I was thinking what to do engine wise. And I think a big bore and leary cam is the way to go. I want to keep it '8v ish' but want more grunt from it. Any suggestions, obviously costs need to be low for minor changes but once the money is good again who knows where this could go? :smug:
-
Wheels look tidy. :cool: when tyres need replacing, get some 45s on it and slam it :lipsrsealed:
it's amazing what you can get out of an 8v.... My head is almost as old as the car but was still pushing nearly 140BHP with Bigger valves, high lift cam etc... when i think it's setup OK again I will be curious as to what its still got left in although the tappets are sounding a little tired now. typical mk1.
-
Looks good on those wheels.
-
Painted the badges a silvery grey but not convienced.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-46.jpg)
May go back to black as that seems to have become the theme! :huh:
-
:undecided: black would better :smiley:
-
Maybe the issue is that the background isn't normally the same colour as the text, perhaps try painting the background and spaces the same colour of the car?
-

Yeah, was going to do that but could not be arsed to mess around with it. I will paint them all black I think, just looks better.
Took it out for a drive this afternoon and the difference is definatley noticeable in the ride since the Konis have been fitted. My interior looks great too. These old GTi's certainly have bags of offer still eh. Lovin it!

I think badges standing out still marts. But then its not my car so it doesnkt really matter what I think.

-

-
well, funds are low so parked her up in the garage for now. Got bits in there so will do it as and when. Updates to follow................................
-
sh!t luck but i know what u mean mate.
-
Well, the Audi wheels are moving on to pasteurs new so the RA's will be sitting on her for a while (as they are in a scuffed state!). Still, I think it looks good despite this. I shall be refurbing them in silver for the standard look.

took it out for a good blat today and loved every minute of it. Need to put the exhaust on the I have as the 'original' one is blowing. It really is driving nice and gets attention, even got a thumbs up from a chap in his classic SL!
Ba da da da daaaaaaaaaa, I am lovin it!
And back to bed it goes!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-48.jpg)
Bonnet open just in case of a flat battery! :grin:
-
Morning all!
Off now to put the exhaust on and fit the air filter, may aswell service it while I am at it!
Pics to follow.
-
Did not realise that brackets to put the exhaust on are different on later cars! Bugger!
-

Cheers mate, yeah it's great in the sunshine. Love it every bit. Just need to sort the damn exhaust out! lol

its a shame that more and more of us seem to be garaging them and only driving them on nice days :sad:
-
RA's are by far the best OEM wheel on a MK1 and 2.... looks great

Righty, got the exhaust on and had a little drive of her last week. Was fun and enjoyable. Next week I will be giving her to my friend to sort out the tracking, cam belt change and fitting the rear bushes. It will be fully on the road then. Miss it!
-
Oh and can someone do me a favour? I want to see what a black roof would look like and my RA's Black with diamond cut lips? Any visual would be appreciated. Cheers.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Martz/photo-47.jpg)
-
Black roofs on red cars look cool. Well I think they do. My 3 door has a satin black roof with red tears through it
-
I would leave the roof red.

Well, she had a service today, cambelt change, exhaust mounted correctly, tracking sorted and a nice fresh MOT. Then I took her out this evening for a blo0dy good ragging! Smooth gears, nice bit of torque through the gears and plenty of fun through round a bouts. More driving tomorrow, Thursday and Friday then she will go Saturday. :cry:
Going to miss this one :sad:

Yeah it is if the 405 is in a bad state, the one I went in had it's engine from a crashed 405 so was totally justified and to be honest, the motor seemed to really suit the little 205.

Nope still should have gone into a 405! :grin:
