Members' Cars / Berg Cup Mk2 VR6T 4WD
Right so bear with as the first few posts are copy and pasted from the old forum, starting from when I first took the golf off of the road as prior to that, all I had done was taken a standard 8V GTI, blew the engine up, dropped a 16v engine in, spun the bottom end bearings, replaced the engine for one with a trashed head, bolted a new head on and it never started again.. so I decided to rip it apart

Some posts may be out of context but the timeline will still fit... this starts in January 2014

I started this project when I was about 18 so some of the “earlier” methods and approaches were a bit terrible, but it’s all been a learning curve, I have no background in mechanics or engineering as I worked in a leisure centre for many years and now work front line for the ambulance Service, everything you see here is self taught, I have failed, learnt, failed and learnt some more so if you have any doubt in your skills or tools.. when I started this build I had a 24 piece socket set, 4 screw drivers, a hammer, a dodgy Halfords jack and some odd sized Allen keys.. and a few years down the line I’m aiming for a 600+ VR6T converted to 4WD
