My 87 20v Mk2 project

[cdiddydo]

just a quick not this update might seem like a repeat, but it isn't had to get a different subframe!

so finally a bit of an update so to speak,

finally got a strut mount that would work with my coils:

they are mk3 vr mounts with cx racing coils, mk3 10.1 hubs with mk3 DE brakes
i also got the car back on the ground which seemed to be a big hurdle for some reason.
also took out the headliner which was all broken and hooked the column back up.
going to wash the thing tomorrow after it being stored in a barn for almost 2 years.
then out comes exhaust and tank for a re-undercoating.

Finally got. Bunch of stuff done

Past few weeks i have

Put together a repainted subframe with:

New control arms
New tie rods
New ball joints
New sway bar bushings

I got this up and in the car


Got one coil in, but i am un happy with the fit of the mk2 mounts the top nut is only on a few threads as these cx racing coils are meant for mk3's so i will switch them out for mk3 strut mounts which dont have those metal plates on the bottom. These are re painted knuckles with newish bearings, they are mk3 knuckles so i can run either corrado g60 brakes or my DE brakes.

The bay is almost ready for primer waiting for some warmer weather to spray it, also got half the car undercoated, and just waiting to pull the tank to do the rest.
Once i get some sound deadning i will put most of the interior back in minus the dash, and hopefully we get some warm weather so i can paint the bay, then BOOM! Motor goes in

also got the rear coils in, just need to expoxy one flare, which was cracked on the bottom hit those with some fresh paint, and put them on, then adjust coils as necessary. hoping to order some sound deadening then the interior can go in and get the front suspension back in!

lookin good man! taking the seam sealer off is the best thing you can do for your MK2. keep those tower from rotting from the inside out.

just need to hand sand a few more spots then i can hit with some etching primer
