Mk2 Golf driver - 1.8t complete rebuild

[Mk2 Dave]

Right then i'll start by explaining the rough plans i have for my Mk2 Golf.....

Basically I have recently got hold of a Mk2 Golf Driver in really nice condition with no accident damage, over the next few years i will be stripping it down and rebuilding it with a 1.8t engine.

As soon as i can figure out how to post photos on here i will stick some photos up and keep the thread updated as i go along.

Happy reading - feel free to post up any comments/recommendations/suggestions!

Welcome aboard Dave. Looking forward to seeing any pictures. You just need to copy BB code from your albums or an external site like photobucket, or you can directly attach each image to the posts. I think up to 5 attachments per post. Might be quicker doing it via albums or photobucket if there are a few.

Let me know if I can help further.

This is how it was standard.....

Bit of back to black that'd look perfect?!

How come you're stripping it if you don't mind me asking?

Complete ground up rebuild with 1.8t engine but i'm saying no more - you will have to watch the thread as it progresses

I most certainly will Dave.

Stripped to rolling shell





Next job to give it a wash off.....

Pushed it outside and gave it a jet off.

A few bits of rust that will need attention....

Battery tray (caused by leak from battery)


N/S/R arch (was hiding under arch trim!!!)
