Jesus - Just got the 120 Day warning for posting in here lol! Need to sort my act out.
Been very busy with work amd uni recently so not had much spare time for the G.
Current state it's in , no engine in , no front brakes , no front end ..... lol!
Managed to source some Calibra front calipers, goodridge hoses , grooved golf gti 256 discs and some what look like Yellow Stuff pads, so they will be on by the end of the week hopefully (cheers Martinn!). I've got the full set of Mk4 golf rear calipers to sort too but need a handbrake cable piece first, hopefully manage to get this sorted before it comes back onto the road.
Engine wise , the new BVH has been to Sheffield Engine Services for a skim, new stems and guides, 3 angle cut seats and a pressure test. Also got a new set of tappets for it too when i fetch it so should be nice.
Gearbox, it's out of the car waiting to be pulled apart. Got the diff ready to go in aswell as some other seals which I've collected over the past few months. Also got a custom driveshaft for the drivers side but I need a rattle gun to get the hub nut off or a scaff bar!
The K03s turbo I had sourced turned out to have a crack in the exhaust housing, so thats been off to Midland Turbos for a rebuild, new housing bearings and oil seals. Should boost solid now (fingers crossed).
I've been putting off doing the battery tray for too long now, probably the source of many snapped pedal boxes, so thats the first thing on the list after she's back on wheels. Pics to follow.
Need to get my arse in gear to see it ready for bugjam!
Calibra Calipers , Brembo 256 grooved vented discs, Hel braided lines and EBC yellow stuff pads.
