Went down to Glasgow yesterday to repair and pick the Golf up, I tell you stepping into this after driving about in my 190k VR6 its like driving a new car, feels totally different.
Anyway this is how she has been sitting since the beginning of november.
Not turned a wheel in three months and only covered about 2300 miles since I sold it but has sat out in the elements so there are a couple of wee bits that need some attention. This was how the engine was sitting.
Rear engine mount had broke, not sure how as it was new, and its also broke part of the front mount, broke a bolt hole lug of the starter motor also. With the engine being angled down at the gearbox side the passenger driveshaft gaitor came in contact with the drop link and unscrewed it out the roll bar.
Done a temporary botch job to get it up the road.
Will rob the front mount bracket and starter off my mk2 engine I removed recently so an easy repair.
Some pics of how she looks.
Not been polished and waxed since I sold it which is ashame.
Need to source some arch liners and one of the top strips on the side skirts has split due to corrosion, a few wee bits on the bodywork needs touched up also. Gonna be putting standard suspension on it and different wheels, either some 15" bbs soltitudes or the 17" wheels thats came with the car originally, standard front lights and then it will be up for sale again pretty cheap. Although my dad has his eye on it.
