'90 Mk2 VR6 Golf Smooth Bay Never Ending Project

[JoeMallett]

Finally got round to ordering the wiring I need, so I'll get on that as soon as it gets here

[JoeMallett]

For some reason I now can't see half of my photos on this thread, is it the same for other people, any idea how to fix it?
Been working on other things, the wiring was stressing me out so I'm having a break. Will order all the wire etc. that I need over the weekend most likely. Then I'll get somewhere again.

Been doing this all day...





Worked out all the cable I need to order for this loom. Having a little trouble working out what I need to keep on the lighting loom and what I can delete. Then I'll have to do the same with that tomorrow and order it all up.

Looking good!

That engine bay looks tidy! How did you get that roof dent?

A plank of wood fell out the top of the barn onto it, sucks.

Progress has slowed down a bit, had a lot on in the last few days. Managed to get the engine in the car though. Not sure whether I still need to shorten the mount a bit more or not though. It's looking good though.
Will start planning the wiring tomorrow and get to supplies ordered.

Got the car back in the workshop so can get going again now when my backs better. Got everything together ready to start planning the wiring and sat the mani and plastics back on the top. Really pleased with it



The plastic just need a good clean now.

Didn't get as much done as I wanted to. Been working on a Triumph chassis most of the day. Everything's back together though, but we need more people here to move my car back into the workshop so I can get any further. Bit annoying, but oh well. Knackered anyway.

Been working on other cars this morning, but will have some updates later hopefully...

I love those wheels. Cant wait to see them mounted and a good side shot in subed.

Yeah I'm pretty excited too, need to get everything sorted then measure them up properly and get the adapters made up. when I measure them up I'll get some decent photos.

Although this sounds like a long and precise project, I would love to tackle one one day. Nice work man, keep it up!

I think as long as you had a proper plan from the start you could do it a lot quicker than I have. I've done parts of it and thought that was the end of that process, then had to go back to it later on. That and having arthritis in my spine and no income has slowed me down/made me lose motivation.
But from finishing the welding to where I am now has taken 2 weeks I think.
