Ok so it's been a while since I updated this. I didn't really touch the car over Christmas/ new year and then struggled to get back into it but it's full steam ahead again now especially after Liam Dummelow let me have a drive in his car and I realized how fun it's going to be. So I got a load of pa...

The engines only done 60k miles so I didn't see any reason to take the head off will just be changing the rocker and sump gaskets. After getting the engine stripped as far as I needed I set to work cleaning it, a bit of degreaser got the worst if it off before scrubbing it with a strong detergent an...

I bought myself an early Christmas present at the NEC and now my car is on a set of mobile axle stands giving me loads more room in the garage where ever I need it. I removed the brake linkage bar to refurb it and found it had a big bend in the rod.... I had been considering ways to do away with the...

Another long overdue update. So got the engine out, separated the gearbox which has been sent to GasnGears to have a Quaife fitted. Removed the clutch and flywheel and started removing everything else from the engine ready to clean it up and paint it. The bottom aux belt pulley belts were an arse to...

I didn't know you could fit it without a front mount?

Been a while since I updated this. Not much progress to show as I ended up getting sent to the Caribbean for a month.... Got the Scirocco engine bay cleaned up with a pressure washer and some degreaser before I went away and started stripping the Golf engine. Since getting back I've finished disconn...

Yeh I've been reading through that and looking at Henry's Facebook photo album from when he did his.

Lots of knowledge in the group now when it comes to these conversions.

Ok so got the linkage disconnected, exhaust and removed both driveshafts. Lowered the engine as slowly as I could with a couple of jack's and some wood. Didn't come out as nicely and smoothly as I'd hoped but only caught a bit on the front cross member, should be easy enough to sort https://uploads....

That's an awful quality picture.

This one's slightly better.

Cheers guys. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions when it comes to putting it all back together [emoji23] Not much more to see yet but think I've got everything disconnected from above and removed everything I can for now. Hopefully get the driveshafts, gear linkage and exhaust off tomorrow and she'...

I'd already removed a few injection parts, coolant pipes and ignition parts etc which were sold at the Nationals. So tonight I managed to make a start and removed the bumper and headlights. I'll be stripping the bay out completely as I want to give it a good clean up so I can decide whether to respr...

So I'm finally starting a 20v turbo conversion. Here's a few photos of the cars life so far. First is how it was found in a barn near Gloucester and then the previous owner bought it and had it resprayed. The original engine was replaced by the previous owner with another DX but that engine died a m...

Oxford, 5 cars should be arriving together at 730. We'll be the group with the red GTi and Red CL.

Tom will be coming on his own, think he's aiming for 730 as well, think he's in a silver GTi.

Last minute post but I'll be there tomorrow morning.

Pretty sure Tom, Kyle and Rob will be as well.

You can get those pressurised blasters on ebay for half the price.
