MK2 Golf Turbo, an update.

mattbeef · 18-08-2008, 14:39

So much potential its scary.

I hope you will be leaving the GTD badge on though

KenONeill · 18-08-2008, 14:44

Replace it with a plain "Golf D" one for additional sleeper potential?

bengie · 18-08-2008, 16:06

i am more excited about this than my car

woodenspatulas · 18-08-2008, 16:55

can i ask what paint you used on those engine bits?

my own gsi vec is going to have a new engine and i fancy getting it as clean as yours!

what prep did you do to the bits?

loving the work btw

Lummox · 18-08-2008, 16:58

Engine was steam cleaned and given a good lick of Smooth Green Hammerite (the Briskodians choice).

The black engine parts varied. The alternator and starter motor were cleaned using solvent based cleaner then given a coat of etch primer, then gloss black (Halfords best) and laquered. The alternator bracket was glass bead blasted, etch primered and then painted and laquered. Cambelt cover was cleaned, prepped with 800 grit paper, plastic primed, flatted back with 1500 paper, painted with gloss black, flatted back with 1500 paper and laquered.

To be honest most of the bits ive been painting are for your car..lol.

My engine is just sat on the stand headless. However I now have the washers i've been waiting for so that can be rebuilt.

brill, cheers that gives me a head start when bits start coming off. i do love the green, i was thinking going green for the calipers as the car is silver, just hope Briskodians wont baulk at the colour appearing on a non vag car

KenONeill · 19-08-2008, 09:08

I've used that shade on boat engines before, so why not?

Lummox · 20-08-2008, 07:55

Don't you just love it when you ask for something maybe a bit random from a supplier and they understand what your chuffin on about. Well done Skospares you excelled yourselves, also did this 'odd' job as I'm a Briskodian and they like us

auroan · 20-08-2008, 08:05

Go on then... why do you have two cut up bits of door and handles then ...... ?

Lummox · 20-08-2008, 08:09

I have a personal dislike to the MK2 Golf door handles.

Something a little different to Audi ones that usually get fitted and might confuse a few people.

cheezemonkhai · 20-08-2008, 13:21

They look familiar, what are they from?

Lummox · 20-08-2008, 13:25

Felicias finest.

Always liked how they looked on the Fun so thought i'd ues them again.

mole · 20-08-2008, 14:59

looks good,

Lummox · 31-08-2008, 09:51

Look what arrived

Then decided to remove the rear beam etc so I can strip it down and get it all blasted and powder coated. Also dropped the fuel tank so that can be cleaned and I can now clean and underseal the underneath of the car after it has been seam welded of course.

Got to get the old dreaded knotted wire wheel out again, took half my leg off with that last time.

**mannyo** · 01-09-2008, 11:23

Another piece of the jigsaw comes together.

Looks good Ross.

mattbeef · 01-09-2008, 21:53

Nice work mate, another little more done

Tom_vRS · 01-09-2008, 22:05

Like the cage!!

Nice to see a little bit of Skoda making its way onto it too Ross!

auroan · 02-09-2008, 08:53

Wow, looking great !!!!

SkodaLover · 18-10-2008, 00:46

Any news Ross?

SkodaLover · 27-10-2008, 01:13

No news for 2 months... have I missed something?

I no you've got another Golf Ross, but...

Lummox · 27-10-2008, 07:52

I got another Golf (currently bust) and lots of work on so the Golf has been sat up the end of U18 just waiting.

I think I want to see it finished more than you...

No that's fair enough mate, but don't forget it will you.
