some progress has been made! new engine is in, brake upgrade, some general stuff, speakers in, steering wheel and erm other stuff.
So i got the engine out the golf and the caddy, the swap was so straight forward, used my caddy box (mistake) witch bolted straight up, and now has to come back out due to the awful top end speed. I took the chance to rebuild the linkage with new bushes while the engine was out, completely changed the gear changes!
Golf when she arrived
Heartless!
Caddy ready for new engine and rebuilding linkage
Ready to go in
In
What a mess
GTI centre console to house boost, EGT and oil temp gauges
Nice surprise when i started her... cracked the oil filter. No damage done luckily
After a few days of running i decided to replace the oil cooler witch had been bypassed due to a previous leak. It'd destroyed most of the hoses this one let go just after retro rides!
New oil cooler and dipstick because I karate chopped the top off the last one
Fitted my mountney steering wheel, brand new mind, after a few days i realised it felt loose so removed it to find the bolts that hold the boss together had come out :s thread locked and put back in tight she seems to have been ok but check these if your buying a new one!
