Small picture heavy update..
Been pretty tied up for spare time lately and the weather hasn't been too great but iv started to strip the GT2 shell down, waiting for some storage space and finer weather before I rip out the engine and start some welding.
couple of pics of the shell, it was jam packed full of S**T from where it had been sitting, newspapers from 1996 and bumpers lights etc from other cars.
Engine is still in the car and it does turn over by hand, not sure its really worth much the way its sitting though.
stripped out the interior, the carpet, and pretty much most of the junk that was in the car
started to take the loom out
Will be handy to keep a hold of!
bulkhead sound deadening was out next, it was soaking! removed the heater box as well and kept a hold of it
stripped some of the ancillaries from the engine, washer bottles plastics etc
bulkhead seems pretty good, im gonna strengthen it anyway for good measure
then removed boot carpet to check out the boot floor, to my delight its solid and so are the suspension turrets and surrounding areas where the gtx had holed through
and then brushed up and cleaned it all up
Its quite hard to see and I never took any proper pictures at the time but there are two holes symmetrical to each other right behind the inner seat rails right in the corners that will need welded
Thats about it really! not much unfortunately
Im pondering which engine to go for, Il either stick in the 1800 Kjet from the GTX or il go down the route of 1.8 20VT from a mk4 golf. Its a long way away till I'll be doing this anyway but 150hp unmodified in a little scirocco is quite tempting!
When I get some space in the garage the car will be stripped right down to a bare shell and it will be put on a spit to straighten out the bodywork
My mk2 golf will be getting used daily until this scirocco is built and the plan is to take the golf off the road for restoration and daily the scirocco!
more to come
daz
. should I separate them into two?
