Golf 3 R32 DSG

[Timberland]

I bought the car like this, the engine run without oil at the previous owner and needed a swap



2 years ago i bought these mirrors


some interior updates





After that it was time to respay the car, because of a lot of problems with the paint



After that the car was ready for worthersee 2012

[Timberland]

in Worthersee Austria i've got serious problems with the engine.
it started to use oil, and a lot of black smoke coming out the exhaust.
After rebuilding the vr6 engine i found a mk5 R32 engine for a really nice price.
so sold the vr6 engine and bought the R32 engine.
One thing i liked about the R32 is the DSG gearbox
So i made the choise to build in the dsg gearbox as well.

the first testfit



I really like black engine's so the next step was painting/powdercoating





Time for some new mirrors



Testfitted a set of 18" rs-gt's, but just was not my thing.



after looking a long time i found a set of center from Rotiform, the TMB model
And i created this.

[Timberland]

after that is was time to make the exhaust




And custom axles



custom brakes for the AP calipers



And made myself a black set of vento headlights

[Timberland]

after a couple of week i was finally done with it.
Installed a set of Airlift airride with E-level management





and a couple of crappy iphone pictures

You make it look so easy. "So I bought this car with a broken engine, and I was having this set of mirrors and a Recaro interior laying around, I sprayed it the next day and then I put a VR6 in it but it got broken down the road so I just replaced it with an R32 engine. Ohhh and after I refused some rare BBS RS-GT because they were just not my thing I built some sick one-off wheels using Rotiform centers. Ohhh and since I was there, I bagged it using Airlift hardware"

Dude, where do you live and what do you do for a living? I want to move tomorrow )

Hi

Thats the way thing are done here in Holland

I live in the Netherlands Daniel, work in the lithography world .

But it took me 6 months to finish this?
little time but i made it work.
The R32 part is not difficult, the DSG part is a little bit different.
Especially making the speedo work

[Timberland]

next week i'm gonna finish the air build.
This picture was without the compressors or anything else. Thats placed now with 2x 380C Viair compressors.

Interior shot with the dsg? Loving this, mad props!

[BigBjarne]

Deffo want to see some interior shots. I always love a good MK3 but the fact that it has a R32 motor is even better.

[Timberland]

i don't have any interior shot's yet.
the DSG shifter needs some finishing. And it's not working perfectly yet.
New shifter and old type of gearbox. i've bought a shifter from a audi TT.
When that one is in place i will make a couple of pictures
