Lot has happened since I last posted about this car. Gurn got the motor in & she runs & drives. All on the road now riding on a set of 15x7 BBS RS reps for now until I get my new project home. Still working the bugs out of it. Drove it to work for the first time & went to start it at lunch time & it wouldn’t start. Had to come back with a truck & trailer to bring it home. I said ehhh what the hell, let’s see if she’ll start. Damn thing started right up. Got it home & scanned for codes, threw a code for the crank sensor. So messed with that & so far it’s started every time since (knock on wood). Plans are to just rock it as a beater. Floors need some love so hopefully I’ll have Gurn patch those up in a few weeks. Other than that, planning on getting it low next week & swapping the BBS reps with some mk4 5 spokes. Also planning on plasti dipping the whole car. Few pics:
I got a spare VR6 motor & tranny now that are going right into the GTI once I get my kit from Eurowise
I’ll keep that in mind.
I have all the big stuff. Between ECS, BFI & Eurowise I should be able to get some parts if needed. Vortex has also been a jackpot lately. Already got some goodies from there.
Haven’t decided if I’m going to do a simple bolt in or go all out & boost it. Funds are a little tight right now so probably just do the simple stage 1 bolt in.
