Well not a lot has happened to this since those pics.....
Oh hang on, maybe there has! I bought a pre 90 spec donor gti 8v and converted my jade green GL to PB power! Had plenty of mishaps and problems along the way believe me, but its all done and complete now, apart from I still have the disc rear beam with ARB and a 16v MC to fit, then thats the brakes and handling dealt with.
My main reoccuring issue is a bad earth causing it to blow no less than 4 ECU's so far! After the 1st 2 I managed to sort the problem out by adding various new earths here and there, then after the 3rd ECU she fired up and I drove it home from my garage. Good times. Apart from the clutch slipping like hell (which was my own greasy fingerprints so my own fault, it'l cure itself). I found the exhaust manifold gaskets leaking quite badly so I replaced those with the inlet mani gasket too, and while I was at it I fitted the vacuum pipe through the bulkhead for the MFA to work correctly. While it was in bits I made a huuuge fcuk up and flicked the ignition on whilst the earth leads were off, thus blowing another ECU
So after refitting everything and buying a 4th ECU, all is not good here as it still has no fuel pump or spark. Did put it up for sale as I'd given up, but no1 seems to want it and I just don't know what else to do now
Anyways here it is rocking a matt black bonnet off the donor car as my jade green one is scratched to hell (probs from me piling front crossmembers on it when it was in the garage)
