Mk2 golf g60 to vr6t project

[E90freak]

Hi everyone! I thought I would share my newest project with you all!

Started out life as a grey 1.6 and the previous owner has built it into a red big bumper gti look a like.











So fast forward a few years and here is how she sits



The car as I bought it came with:

Us spec tail lights
Clear rear window
kW v1 coilovers
Anti roll bars
Smoothed front and rear bumpers
Audi s2 front brakes with braided hoses
Transporter t5 banded steels
Lightweight battery in the boot

But more to the point this has hardly any rust, only major problem is both front jacking points have rusted through but that will be easily sorted.

So my plans for this Are:

Shaved engine bay
Polybush everything
Forged and rebuilt 2.8 vr6
Precision 6262 turbo
Sidewinder manifold
O2m swap (maybe)
Stripped interior
Buckets
Cage
Motorsport shifter
Respray (same colour)
15" gotti g1001 wheels


Yesterday I went round and helped pull the g60 engine out ready to get it recovered back to my house





So will hopefully have it back at my house Monday (fingers crossed) where I can really get stuck into things

Here's the vr6 engine conversion I have bought, engine has done 90k but will be getting stripped to the bare block and head and rebuilt



And my gotti g1001 wheels. These were made January 1990 and never even seen a car hub or a tyre they are brand new and diamond cut




Need wider lips front and rear so these will be getting stripped down soon

thanks for looking [THUMBS UP SIGN][THUMBS UP SIGN]

Just spent tonight searching for a decent 02m box with all the trimmings and going to pick one up later this week! Going to get a paddle clutch (looking at clutch master fx850's) and a LSD

Few pictures of the mk2 been brought back to its new home, need to shuffle a few cars about and then will have the ideal spot for the rebuild

Great attention to detail. Nice pick up on the Gottis! One of my fav wheels as well

Being a mk2 man myself, I'll be following this thread Vr6t sounds like a lot of noise and fun! Those Gotti's are mint too, think I may have seen them for sale a little while back but I didn't have the funds..
Good luck with the build

Thanks and yes my mate Jamie (wheelgeek) was selling them so did a deal with my 18"
Breytons I had on my e90.

And going to need the luck mate! 🙈

So after removing the rest of the wiring loom, hydro clutch and brake master cylinder I decided to remove some old metal in place for nice shiny bits that Matt gave me with the car, shame no one is going to see them as I am smoothing over the top with sheet metal but I like to do things right and do them once





Using a grinder wire knot wheel to remove sealer it's the easiest way I've found and then drilling out the spot welds. Going to seam weld everything so no one seam sealant and no filler needed (hopefully)

[E90freak]

Yesterday I went to see lowvr off the vr6oc forum to pick up an 02m box, c2 mount and gear shifter along with a Modified mk3 subframe and had a good chinwag and then I had to jump on a flocked dash for £30 so went and picked that up [emoji106][emoji106]






No photos of the gearbox but I also order a 2wd conversion blanking plate from holland



Then today I have replaced the chassis leg panel on the drivers side and welded up the large hole above it on the inner wing







Took the wing off so I could get underneath to weld the panel and was pleased to see no rust






Just need to carry on smoothing the bay!

Oh and this got dropped off today as well and looks decent from the quick inspection I gave it

Nice nice

[Greg|H]

Love where this is going!

[E90freak]

Nice nice

Thanks!

Love where this is going!

Cheers mate!


Started stripping down the engine and gearbox yesterday. Everything looks to be in great shape, which makes it even more of a shame to split the engine down to fit new pistons and rods but hey ho! Waiting for a proper engine stand to be delivered so I don't have to work on a trolley anymore (sketchy AF) lol

Looking good so far, keep it coming!
