Some random pictures.

The start of the strip down.


9A engine


ABF engine


Started to strip some parts off it before putting it on an engine stand for storage.

Other than the original tank and hard plastic lines fitted to the car still I don’t have a fuelling setup for either engine.

I haven’t researched enough about it but I was wondering if it would be easier/cheaper to go MK3 tank and pump etc. and this would lend itself more to running the ABF engine. I’ve got a hydraulic pedal box and the engine/gearbox mounts I need. Plus I have an ECU and engine loom for it.

First small patch repair. Klokkerholm part from VW Heritage.











Threw some (badly matched) Jade Green paint on it because I'm impatient.



Then seam sealed it because I'm sensible.



Forgot to take a picture after I put more (badly matched) Jade Green paint back on top of the seam sealer.

Had to make and let in a little repair for the chassis leg. I've not got a picture of it dressed, so here's what my ugly welding looks like.

As title really. This is my Jade Green 16v 3dr project. It's going back to a bare shell and I'm hoping to order a rollover jig in the next few weeks. Once it's up on that it'll get pretty much every panel that you can buy welded in, plus a few body cuts from donor cars if I can get some decent ones. But, it'll be worth it, right?










The project came with two 2.0 engines. A 9A Corrado engine and a Mk3 ABF engine. I've got a couple of matching gearboxes also.

I've budgeted around 2 years and about £5k for the project. Both of those might be wildly conservative though.

New Members Say Hi! / Hello and happy new year
Hello. Picked up a 1988 3dr Jade Green 16v (project) late last year. Currently in the process of stripping it down as it has rot in all of the places that I'm sure you are all familiar with. It's my first really big project and my first Golf project so I will definitely need a lot of info from everyone over the next few years.

Plan is to restore it to almost standardish but maybe add a load of OEM+ upgrades.

If anyone is near Newcastle upon Tyne and fancies a brew while having a look around it just give me a shout.
