I am really worried i will get things wrong so i have labeled every single electrical connection, and bagged and tagged every single nut, bolt and washer. All the nuts and bolts will be replaced with stainless steel ones or zinc plated were i cant get replacments.
engine has been pulled (my mate thought it would look good with a audi employee in the pic)
most of the interior is out along with the dash and the front suspension is in bits.
Currently colllecting all the bits that need cleaning, blasting and powdercoating to get the rolling front chassis put together so i can turn the car around and do the back end, when all thats done it will go off to be repaired and paint.
sand blasted and zinc primered parts
cleaned, etched primed and undersealed arches
sound deadened front footwells and dash area
bush set from GSF after i cut the old ones out the wishbones
and this is what £500 worth of genuine VW parts look like, pathetic really
Quick list of new parts
Gearbox end plate
power steering fluid res
all suspension bolts
most engine bolts and nuts
driveshaft bolts
rain tray
brake clips
side skirt brackets
coolant flanges
all new sensors
gaskets
ecu hose
cross member rubbers
ARP head studs i there too
Still got a ton to get, so happy about changing everything, should be like a new car

found this
but managed to finish the engine bay
also picked these up from the blasters
and my home recon'd starter motor
Also had the guy thats painting the car round to have a proper look at the motor, pretty sure he can blow my socks off with the end result, sounds reassuring.
off to VW agian tomorrow to pick up VR6 sachs clutch, brand new door seals, HT lead guide tube, and all manner of parts to rebuild the gear selector tower. think i need therepy.

Well i had a good day yesterday.
Before my car came off the road to be stripped down a problem developed with the ABS system, like it wern't working.
I stripped it down to find the cable feeding the motor on the pump had become broken from the terminal of the motor. Some solder and a test across the terminals from a battery and it worked. yeehaa
next i saved myself a few quid by rebuilding the clutch master cylinder, found nothing wrong at all, so painted, lubed and rebuilt. all ok.
I managed to deliver all the parts i had sandblasted to the powdercoaters about 11am. Then to my surprise the guy called me at 5pm to say all my stuff was ready to pick up, said its because he new i only had one day off, sweet.
Front chassis rebuild on the cards soon.

this is not what you want your crank pulley to look like.
had to grind down the pulley bolt to get the crank off, i hate working on 20 year old engines.
but it did come off
got the powersteering rack refurbed and put back on the car, stripped the sound deadening and stuff from the bonnet, put the panels on the front of the car and bolted some wheels on. then......
and cut my windscreen out, it took me over and hour and a half.
After i got it back in the garage i jacked the back up and chucked some axle stands under it, unbolted the rear bumper and started to cry, why why why did i decide it would be a good idea to poke my car
this sucks
guess more welding will take place
on another note, dont forget to prop the fuel tank before unbolting the straps
bump on the head

just a small progress update
The damage to the sill and rear end, definately had some previous accident damage in the faterland.
found some wiring issues between the body and boot lid
I also decided what i will trim the roof lining and A,B,C pillars in, and this is a comparison shot.
After shots of fully trimmed trim parts.
Stripped down the rad fan and painted, cleaned and assembled. Bolted together with stainless nyloc nuts and washers.
O and the car put back on all four wheels
And then........................
she's gone to paint
should have her back in a couple of months
Thats the last update i have, but will keep it up to date, finger crossed its done for mk2 meet next year.
