NOW SOLD!!!!! :( Tornado Red MKII 20v T Project
« on: 04 October 2009, 18:14 »
Hey guys i've started a bit of a thread on the MKII section but thought i'd move it here for more eyes to see :)

A while ago on a trip home from hospital my old man said one of his mates had a 8v GTI project, basically the bloke who started ruined a perfectly good car! there was no problems what so ever  with it and due to unforseen circumstances he had to get rid and charged me scrap value!!! :D £200 to be exact, now the car was in pieces, about as many pieces as it possibly be but i didn't care  :grin:



I know what your thinking............ SWEET RIDE!!! to begin with it was just gonna be a bolt it back together and jobs a goodun then a VR6 was in the pipelines but i just couldn't keep away from the 20v T and now i'm glad i didn't :)
Next thing that came was the gearbox and driveshafts etc from a follow forum member (Diamond Hell) and if i'm honest it was a steal :)




after a long time of searching i came across the right engine, its a 40k mileage AGU 20v T from a 2000 reg Audi A3, i got more than i expected if i'm honest, subframe, wishbones, gearbox, ecu, driveshafts, hub and brake assembly, PAS pump the list goes on and all for £900 :D



after a week or two of tryin to find somewhere to do this project my good mate and Audi Technician Matty 'wheres my hammer' Spragg said bring it to my dads and i'll move his Porche Boxster (YUCK!!!) outside :D so thats what we did and we started stripping the block.

We cracked on for a good few hour and got it from that..........





to this..........





and now i've sold my pride and joy to fund this project :( my beloved 1984 MK1 Golf GTI Karmann Cabby



i'll be ordering up some new bits this coming week and get an update ASAP.......

Cheers for reading

Michael
