I assume it’s an 02m box, therefore you need to either convert the speedo to electronic (seat Ibiza or something) or buy the £300 converter (the route I’m going to keep my 8k 160mph CE1 clocks)

Crumbs.. you have a lot of patience

Not a lot of patience needed tbh, I just cut where ever I want to cut and then weld it up 😂

Man thats some amount of fabrication there  8)

Going to be a hoot to drive when its finished

I hope so! There certainly is, but it’s all fun and games and I won’t be building another one that’s for sure.

Well.. I’ve done a bit more, sorted the holes I made for the engine mounts.



Then fixed the awful repair someone had done in the past. Thank you Brendon for the cut!



Welded in.



And both sides all sealed up.



To the untrained Golf eye, you’d never know!
 


Then onto my dog bone mount. Bolted up, marked and cut.



Tacked in and PAS rack fitted to see what’s going to touch. I’ll have to make new lines up but thats no problem.



Then welded up the bottom.



And that was it, primed up and put back together.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Rebuild or exchange gearbox myself - really?
As above, I’m happy to do absolutely anything on almost any car, but gearboxes? No thank you! Backlash, preload etc etc.. I just don’t do it often enough to know what I’m doing.

Martin at Gas N Gears gets my business for anything related to it!

Well here we go...

We built a spit:





So I bought complete mk2 Syncro running gear, with the plan of using that and upgrading it later, then it hit me that it’s stupid and just fit the correct stuff first time round.

So most of the early pictures are Mk2 Golf parts.

So I cut the tunnel out, and then put the prop in and measured my height.






Then started my filler sections. This was a boring job.



So I moved onto the back, diff mount made from Range Rover tow bar.



Then made a boot floor



Did some more tunnel, drilled new holes for the hand brake tubes



Managed to source a syncro console



Fitted a new battery tray



Then this happened...



And then this.. TT engine mounts, so I can have loads of space for mega big turbo!



Someone put a subframe in the way so i modified it and cut the mounts off.



Made some mounts and stuff to get it to the right height



Then mounted the diff once the engine was in place, using the TT prop.



Final welding,



Tapped and front support



Then in the car!



Then to move the prop to a more direct route, tidy up the shifter cables.



Tunnel sealed and ready to go.



This makes me a little bit happy!



And put some bits inside..



And almost finished my wiring now, at last!



And back on its own wheels!!!

New Members Say Hi! / Re: Hey!
Ah okay, I was wondering why it doesn’t quite work on mobile properly!

Hopefully I’ll join you all at a show next year! Although it’s not my kind of thing, I may want to show it off a little!
