I must say, I don't like VW's much at all, but I have to give you your much due respect on this build. I just read through these 9 pages and about half way through I had myself thinking "maybe VW's aren't so bad..." The car looks great, I dig the red carpet and headliner on a white car, very 90s. I'm interested in seeing the wheels you put on it...you said something a few times about having a set in mind...but that's all that was said...

Thanks! currently saving my pennies for said set of wheels over the winter. The cost should be well worth it in my mind, they're right in line with the look I'm goin for. I'm also looking for a Hella Heckblende for the trunk, essentially whole reason I stuck with OEM tails.

spent my whole afternoon doing. I wanted to replace the spring clamps on the coolant hoses with worm-style ones and put a new gasket and seal on the oil cooler. It also bothered me being aluminum it would never stay clean, so I painted that and the water pump/housing black.

Gonna get the transmission cleaned up & re-painted tomorrow night, should have my flywheel bolts back in. Just a quick cleanup of the bay and it can go back in. I'm planning to re-wrap the harness, take all that loom off and be good to go.

Loved seeing this (and you) at SoWo. I'm so bummed that I won't be making it to H20 this year .

I need to do that fuel rail conversion...The stock system sucks.

Yeah it does. My motor is running on Digi2 so if you're ditching the stock fuel injection system in favor of that or standalone, BBM still makes a nice rail and you can still find these older Ross ones around for sale used.

thanks!

Much better. I also threw on a new dizzy seal. I'm gonna be looking into a way to ventilate the head to the catch can because when you put cams in these motors they tend to puke oil out the distributor at high RPMs with increased oil pressure. This is something I'll tackle in a few weeks when I have time and feel like pulling the valve cover. I'm thinking I might build a baffle block in and tig an AN fitting into it.

So it's goin back in the car tomorrow night, just gotta give the bay a wipe down and re-paint my crossmember real quick.

Clutch is good and I couldn't be happier with the Scirocco rad setup. The integrated overflow tank makes it nice and easy to fill and no bullshit when it comes to keeping sealed up. I even scored a set of SPAL 10" pusher fans so they're outta the bay now. Cleaned up as much as I had time for but there's still more left to do.

Hittin the road for VAG Fair after work today. be there!
