Looks awesome dude. All the best for the meeting you attend.
Wonder if you get out TOCA 2 for a practice on the track before you get there!

[F4H Carrera]

Looks great Rusty! Will have to try and get to one of those races and maybe get some picatures

[Matt]

[CQR Honcho]

Not long till Brands now Rusty. Cannot wait. I'll be there ready & waiting with the camera mate
By the way, is there any chance that I'll be able to gain pit access so I can take snap shots of you & the car in the pits as well as on track?

[CQR Honcho]

[ATR DAN]

Im sure i can arrange something bud

Thank you Maestro Greatly appreciated

[CQR Honcho]

Funny fact!

The MK2 Golf GTi gearbox also fits the MG Maestro! Because they designed it!


Pub quiz knowlege for you right their!

[ATR DAN]

You know, I never would have thought that! How unfortunate to have something in common with the Austin/MG Maestro! lol

[CQR Honcho]

I know :/

Funnily enough, its the main unreliable part hahaha

[CQR Honcho]

[CQR Honcho]

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

I have know about this but not looked at this thread much so was very nice to go from start to here.

Nice job there, I really hope I can get to brands

[CQR Honcho]

So back to it again!

Turns out I have to re-wire the whole car as I was having a nightmare finding the correct loom, i got lucky and foiund someone breaking an Early model GTi so landed the full loom for £40 


dash loom out


Dash and column out


Modified my Steering column to sit lower


Everything back in


Fitting the engine and headlamp loom now ( nightmare )


Sorting out the gear linkage... gayness


Coolant hoses


New clocks as the new loom wont fit the ones i have





Brake pipes are also gay

Sourced aload more parts though, so long as the weather is good tomorrow, will be having a busy day!!!

[Ax4x Kane]

Top Job Rusty! Anywhere to catch the races on TV?

[AMR of the Apex]

They'll be on Motors TV at some point. They're in the same paddock as the VWAG races, so if you see that series racing somewhere, then the Mk2 Golfs are always on straight after them.

[Red Dirt Bandit]

Looking good man nice paint work. Running wires and break/fuel hard lines are such a pain.

[CQR Honcho]

Longtime no update!

With the Cumbria VAG show looming ( A week today ;O ) I figured, id better start doing some serious graft on this car!


New Baffled sump


New Windage/splash tray ( they dont tell you abou tthis shizz on Forza



So upon removing the old sump, I find an almost brand new Oil pump has been fitted to my £100 engine! Win 8-)



Sump fitted, maby should have given it a fresh lick of paint like but ah well haha






Finally secured the wheel arches and bumpers properly


Single lamp grille


Scratting around under the back end again....


Another brake pipe done


Boot pins




Kill switch pull chord fitted



Decided to give it a quick wash

Not much left to do now either

Oh, and this happend

Unfortunately not and needless to say, I'm more than pissed off about it at the moment! I'll have them by the end of the week though as its off CumbriaVAG show

[JOSHSIGGY]

[LastNewtStandin]
