Lulz...is that Sherlock and Watson on a day off!?!? #Bitching

[BIGNICK]

It's the little things in life. Literally! PVW thumbnail..

[BIGNICK]

Went to mini meet..



Kinda sums up my approach to this sorta thing.. Dude in the middle spent hours fingering his wheels.



New steering wheel!



280 bro!



DIY trim super star! Lol..







Before



After. (Ran outa material)



Got papped!



Got papped..

[MattHatCat]

trim looks good man!

not sure about the momo but then again I don't drive the bloody thing do I! haha

[DeltaAlpha9]

Because.. Innit..

Booyakkasha! Love the build so far. To me it seems the Heckleblende almost needs that black lettering to fill the gap. Maybe even just "GOLF" on cut vinyl.

[Mehowski]

Now I remember reading this whole thread, yet for some weird reason I wasn't subbed
Anyway, this looks amazing pal, and the GTI sticker works really well imo, completes the rear end since before there seemed to be something missing. Anyway, looking forward to more updates!

The momo will seem far more suited when the interiors finished! 😉

Funny you should say that! I emailed a guy just the other day to see if he could cut me something for it!

Thanks bro! Yeah, the back end did look a bit bare before..

[Peeunit]

This thing is superb.

I love the fact you painted it yourself, and got it spot on. Well done.
Those dials are bad ass.
and the interior is looking silky.

Personally, I'd love to see it with the VW badge back on the rear, but hey.

[theycallmeSDZ]

I am loving this!!!!
Keep up the good work!

[Randomofodication]

Love those wheels, cars coming together great. In for more

[BIGNICK]

Cheers peeps..

New buy..

Retro goodness..



Turbo technics 1984 conversion, on 1.8 8v PB.



Came with more history on the motor than most second hand cars! Lol..



Original un used boost gauge.







Original badges..



That's all the clean bits, I'll get some greasy shots when I get it down the unit and all unpacked..

[Greg|H]

Looking forward to this, I've always liked the idea of a turbo'd PB engine

[BIGNICK]

It's my first engine build so we'll see how it all goes! Lol..

Started to break down the engine for Aqua blasting, skimming and honing..

Piper modified cam, possibly? Lol



Turbo elbow, possibly cast by orks in a cave. Gonna need a pit of polishing me thinks.



I lick of paint before tidying up.



Broke down the turbo for cleaning a rebuilding.



I need to clean up the fins and casing, anyone know of anything I can soak it in?



Some original literature.



New winter wheels.. Need a little tlc, but nothing I can't handle.

[BIGNICK]

Bought some winter wheels..



Not in the bestest of condition but a bit of tlc, they do just fine.







I've disappointed a few people with my colour choice..



Reflex silver, same as the van..

Make shift drying table! Not the cheapest way of drying paint! Lol.









Good enough for me.







Gonna need to paint the drum and 30mm spacers, minimum! Lol.





VagROOTS next Saturday at the Ace Cafe. Get involved.

[BIGNICK]

Made some progress with the new wheels..

Tires fitted.



Spacers received.





Apologies to the purists, I have a problem.





But if a night spit and polish..



Finished result.
