The car is on the Road!!

A few shots of the exhaust - this was before we had made adjustments and also the heat sheild isnt on at the front in the photos.







This was before bonnet went back on, but as you can see the car was taking shape again!



Quick video of it up and running, it idles well and this was with a tiny blow at one of the joints.

 
I have also seen that one of the injectors is leaking, this will be fixed asap. Got the O rings from VW just need to sort that out!

So since the transplant had a few issues but its all good.
Replaced temp sensor, maf sensor, and thermostat.
Running a lot better now, bought injector seals from VW and changing them tomorrow as the 3rd injector has a leak! Urgh!
Once I'm done it will be running sweet, slowly getting there!

Yesterday I had the injector seals changed, gearbox oil changed, engine oil, coolent changed and added Radweld as there is a tiny leak from the radiator (getting replaced next month), 2 new injector plugs as the previous ones were melted (go knows how), brace fitted under exhaust properly.

Got a picture of engine in as it stands, sorry it's blurry it's pitch black outside, needs cleaning up but I am gettin there.



I have ordered a silicone breather pipe as mine was melted and like mush. Currently made a DIY breather pipe out of some other pipes and runs fine. This will be replaced as soon as it arrives tomorrow.

Car runs on the dot now. So happy, after all the hard work and heart ache getting it perfect, I've finally done it.

Now time for mods!

after replacing the breather pipe that goes in to the crank case, i realized that the pipe attached below was cracked to hell.
over the xmas period i have changed that with a brand new replacement pipe and changed the water flange pipe.
also i have had a brand new tyre fitted to the front near side!


broken flange pipe of doom! water had gone everywhere!
replaced it with a brand new part from VW.

this is how it has looked at my house over xmas haha!



as you can see ive started to polish the manifold but ive only used a 200 grit sandpaper at the moment, going to keep going with that untill all of the pitting has been sanded out, then use a 400, 1000, and then 2000 grit to try and get it looking fresh!



i am fully aware i need a bigger battery! its small as anything!

how she sits for now, need to fit the front grill back on!!
