Some pictures from last year
Latest happenings in the Golfies world :-
Got a K03 turbo and mani to try out to see how it stacks up against the T25
Full stainless exhaust to fit
Track day in February
Blat about until next winter where it gets some much needed restoration in some key areas to preserve it for a bit longer.
Looking at the pictures, I miss it fooking loads, but that being said, if anyone wants to try me with swaps, I'm always open to a bit of bartering!

Decided I've spent far too long having not driven a VW so I needed to rectify the situation and with the start of a month looming its the perfect time to tax and insure it.
Got a small list of stuff to do before Friday,
Replace a fuel line
Replace passenger pre tensioner for harnesses
Fit the stainless exhaust - which involves rewelding the factory hanger back on as I cut it out previously as it was intruding on my pikey'd centre box.
Refit the cages door bars and windscreen bar - bought a step drill bit to make neat holes for the cage leg on the passenger side floor pan, which was replaced when I welded it up earlier last year
Go drive
Today I cleaned up swapped out the ecu and cleaned up the loom contacts, they got grotty from when the scuttle cover was cracked and letting water into the loom
Interim plans for this which will proceed when I've finished the comet blue
been measuring up a stainless rad I picked up a while back ( need to get azbar to flip round the water outlets as it was designed for a big block golf engine ) and measuring up the intercoolers I have with metal end pieces so I can decide what needs welding for the tidiest routing of boost pipes, and then I will set out making brackets to neatly hold the rad, intercooler and oil cooler in place.
ko3 conversion is just awaiting getting the manifold flange machined flat and sorting out a chip, either the origins of mine, or getting one from PPP, picked up a stainless downpipe from Jose and a gasket and stud set
The rocker cover is being sent away to be powder coated along with a load of engine parts for the comet blues engine, there's also a single wiper there too =D
Wooooop woop golfie times

Cheers d00d. It's aiight =]
I love the ruotays on anything to be fair haha.
Set about fitting the stainless exhaust this eve,
Welded in a flexi and a sleeve for a reducer
Back box on, tailpipe will get changed at some point but in no rush
Gotta get 3 new rubbers for the backbox and whip the flexi centre section off, reduce the size of the slits in the flexi with a copper backed weld, and make a new centre hanger, I've got some 8mm rod and a 6n exhaust rubber so should be able to make something up that will take the impact when the centre box invariably catches.
