It actually looks like a bum hole.

A well bleached one.

Stripes are crap...

You need flames

Chris tried... ran out of chalk.

Yeah, it looked more like a big hand though...

Yes flames need to be done

LOL, loving the pink stu!

Little more pink...



The observant amongst you will note the fitting method.

Shopping list...



Also got fed up of the lack of tunage, so got the Stereo in properly, fitted the sub/amp and scavanged some standard 2 way speakers from a Megane Coupe which we're a perfect fit - including the wiring plugs!?

Oh and the water pump started pissing water out in the week, so swapped that, while doing it i had to take the cambelt cover off, to find the cambelt tensioner totally collapsed, and the belt near enough hanging off, so fixed that too

Oh annnd i got a pimped out whack stylee cone filter fitted

Haha lol. Ive a feeling this will be the car l remember most tomorrow!

I want to facepalm on my laptop, but it is broken enough already.

Stu I know it was cheap but no just no...

Dont worry RAC are currently towing it along the M5 haha

Yeah it went pop earlier! Drive to the dizzy has given up, got a feeling its the keyway on the dizzy shaft pully as it looked a bit dodge when doing the cambelts yesterday...

7.30 this morning...



8.00 this morning...

What a day..

Was quite an epic day tbf! Quality banter was had by all!

Was the show good tho??

Haha.

So yeah it turns out Pully bolts are threadlocked for a reason

The cambelt cover was the only thing stopping the pulley coming flying off!! The smell was the pully wearing it's way through the cover

Ah well fixed now

This, that is all...

It lives on then...

Chopped the fronts a bit more to match the rear a bit better, oh and seeing as the backbox was scraping, i chopped it off and made a side exit

Also welded the springs into the cups to stop them dislocating everytime i come off my drive!

Ok just to keep you in the loop... and prove i'm not just painting things and cutting springs

I've been deciding what engine combe to run, and I've settled (i think) on my final decision...

My head is one of the best flowing 8v heads VW ever made, and it fits a 2.0 Block.

One of the guys at work has a neighbour with a rotton MK3 Golf GTi, currently in the process of purchasing said car.

So thats the block and head sorted, should see about 130bhp if i run the 2.0 Injection system, with a nice compression ration of 11.5:1 at just over 2000cc.

Or i could do what i've always wanted too, and see just shy of 140bhp... bike carbs

Carbs do it!

Do I?

VR6?

No will look gash with the pink bits.

Awesome the weekends task list is getting bigger. Hopefully, unlike last weekend you won't snap under the pressure

Looking good stu, although as you are putting it together whether it gets done/works is another matter!!!

You all have that little faith in me!?

Like i've said repeatedly, I LOVE building engines, I've got next week off - I'm going to be in my element!
