gazmans mk2 project update 13/08/11
« on: 16 May 2011, 15:58 »
hi all,

i have had my mk2 now for a few months and it has come on quite alot now.

here are a few pics of the car the day i picked her up.





as you can see it has the g60 archers on and it was fully smoothed, so i started taking the archers off, took the vento front end off and got the 4 spot grill on, it also didnt have any interia, so i sorced some very nice tweed seats and a cd player, and we attempted to fit it, but this was harder that thought.




when we took the lower dash off it all fell out





i then noticed that i was loosing lots of water from the rad, so a new rad was required

old


new


so then this was the car before i took it to the garage



the car went to the garage to get the engine bay resprayed, engine re built and cleaned, undersealed, new suspention fitted. they pics will be up soon as i get some, but thanks to purelyvag for the engine work

Looks like it was flushed but then pushed in at some point.

well i bought it off a guy who saved it from a chav, everything on the car was smoothed, so before we took it we had to beark in! lol. not impressed, and yes i had had a nightmare with the wiring, things have been cut and twisted together, luckaly it was good under the archers, alot of filler tho through out the car, and im not a lover of the vento front end, so back to 4/2 spot grill.
