LL's Mk3 1.8t Cab

cheers bud, just getting them onto the lappy now.

perhaps this will be ratty after all...............

Ratty sleeper though!

this is true lol. think the bonnet is staying red for now. at least until the car is done. if it looks crap, then will spray straight away. rather put my time into getting it running tbh, hence the rattyness!

cheers

Tbh mate, i would keep it ratty until you can afford a good spray job. I like ratty mk3's, think they look awesome.

Aslong as there no rust, whats the problem with a few odd colours. It has a turbo!

Pure legend you are. Guts aswell.

Are the mounts the same for the 1.8t engine??

this is also true. knowing me it will stay ratty LOL!

yeah you know i reckon the red bits inside the door and around the seals, etc will go well with matt black.....

haha cheers m8. just gotta think f*ck it and do it. yeah it costs money and it would be much easier to have just bought a mk4 1.8t......... but thats just not thinking sensibly now is it

yeah, it should drop right in, using the mounts that are there. im running a solid front engine mount too.

pics on there way....

cheers

Does contain a VR6 block yes. lol. But ths is LL thread not mine.

So what is the time scale to this being done you think? Before end of summer?

It has been matt blacked
















Few more parts that were acquired:



22mm master cylinder




solid front engine mount




replacement pcv hose and mk4 pas pulley






powerflex bushes for the rear beam and front subframe




1.8t 90amp alternator


Also got new ball joints, fuel pump and a vw vr splitter. and also a vr6 rad, which is A LOT bigger than my 1.4 one lol.


Hoping to get it done in the next couple weeks. dont really put the time in tbh. out pretty much every nite or with the missus.
