Mk2's always seem to rust in that spot on the bulkhead due to the exhaust heat.

yeah them scratches  :laugh: cant have owt these days can we  :grin:


Craig thats cool, need to get BAD car to you soon as you are ready. and then this one too, but no rush  :smiley:

Wayne, i never knew they went their. ill be fitting a heatshield from the MK3 to protect this area in future. im guessing the heat melts the paint leaving the metal bare ?
Its not in bad shape rust wise tho the rest of the car considering its age.. saying that, this car is only 2.5 years older than my MK3..

Who said MK3's were the rusty ones eh ? LOl  :grin:

Okay, lets bump this bad boi up

Was delayed due to waiting on funds from the owner of the MK2.. back on it now and the Engne is going in the bay on our next Visit which is this Tuesday

in the meantime we have cleaned, stripped and repainted the engine bay.

Removed ALL the parts of the MK3 which we need for the MK2, rear hubs, breaks bla bla bla

fitted the MK3 ABF gear selector to the MK2, fitted the new engine mounts into the MK3 subframs which is now fitted to the MK2 as in previous post..

We have also got the Gearbox i painted mounted unto the engine along with obviously fitting the ABF flywheels and clutch and removed the MK2's rear brakes / hubs Etc

I managed to source some 16v clocks which i wanted for the project too.. this will be modified to work with the wiring loom (this is coming in a later update)

not much to show you till later in the week but here is the bay after all the prep work

BEFORE:



AND HOW IT STANDS NOW:






We had to get the paint mixed up specially.. not bad match at all but was £15 a tin (you can see the small white tin on the front right chassis arm)

Bigger more interesting updates will follow this week and we will hopefully have this finished very soon  :smiley:

cheers dude

just got engine in the bay, will update pics ones the parts are all back on the engine, kept all the refurbed parts off it for now until iv got the wiring done and any other bits completed

the 20Vt is looking good in the MK2 bay tho..

owner of the car wants us to do a Caddy soon too, and his mate wants a camper van doing.. so all is good.. 

 :cool:

Looking good boys great work as ever.. Have you lacquered the bay ? Was there any rust in battery tray ?


Got much left to do to get it running ? Have you spliced the looms ?

 mk3's seem not to suffer as many problems in that area against mk2's
