MK2 Golf Rebuild

[MiiTCH]

Me and a Friend picked up this Golf on Friday, thought we would take on a little project and this was the only working one we could find which was in good enough condition to not take all our money and ever get finished, I think we got it for a little bit of a steal! as you will discover later on

well, this is her













Under the engine she was a bit messy, had a nasty oil and water leak through the head gasket... over the weekend, me and a friend started stripping her down, he was doing the interior while I was doing the engine work. Discovered a few goodies when under the bonnet

Took it to my nans house as she has a large garage and a pit to stand under the car... went for a quick rip down the road then she died

pushed her into the garage then started the strip











Interior coming out, had a water leak in the passenger footwell, so that was messy under the carpet... took off all the mouldy underlay stuff and picked up a big roll of cloud 9 underlay off a friend and replaced it with fresh stuff, but loads of it to make it nice and quiet inside... also gave the carpets a major scrub and wash so they are clean and smell good

Pile of bits





Head off







Injection head fitted with carb, apparently the 'penny' trick is a common thing, shocked me when i first saw it



pressure test and skim needed for that...

then gave the engine a quick clean, but dont have pictures of it after the clean
