very nice mate

everythin is spot on, sits lovely

each to their own but id put the std airbox back on and get rid of the boost return , cos i am a chav at heart and love to hear that tischhhhh sound
also runs cooler the charger and no chance of anything gettin back into that G lader time bomb

shame youre so far away, would love to see this in the flesh

keep us updated with any mods, if u decide to mod it further, doesnt need it tho

:blush: answered my own question here.

sex on wheels very very nice indeed, any chance youve got a pic of your head unit?

I only really like bbs in one flavour and thats it right there :drool: Very smart mk2 you have there mate :thumb:

Keep us updated on it :thumb:

Neil.

OMG.

Cant really fault it tbh.

personally, i have a huge dislike with BBS's and not using the boot for shopping and stuff but it all works really well on yours. nice one :thumb: :cool:

cheers guys, she is looking a little tired at the minute, been neglected due to project car :err:

The G60 will be under going a full on restroration after the driver project has been completed early next year.

I have already started to collect a few bits for her so i have all the parts ready to fit, rather than waiting like i have the driver.

The plan is to strip the car to a bare shell and have the body restored professionally to standard, the engine will be sent away to be fiddled, the interior will be cleaned and hopefully retrimmed in the standard edition one cloth, but this is proving hard to find. The boot will be returned to standard and the ICE hidden.

work to be done

Engine:

1.9 re-bore
CNC big valve cylinder head
shrick cam
flowed manifolds
65mm pulley
live mapped
basically rebuilt to 1.9 spec pushing out 250 - 270 bhp
every seal, bearing and nut replaced

body:

Entire shell acid dipped to removed all paint, underseal etc
all damage and rust repaired
repainted in standard swartz metalic black

chassis:

all subframes, ARB's, driveshafts etc powder coated
new S/S brake lines

the car will be mint

aim to spend less than 10k





cheers all

bloomin heck!
a few questions

1, where ya getting ya cnc head off , Darren from gwerks?
2, where you getting it live mapped?
3, you getting the charger rebuilt as well seeing as youre goin for a 65mm pulley


will look immense once done Chris

looking forward to the pics, try to get plenty of pics at each stage, i love rebuild threads

yeah got a quote off darren and the team he can do it all including the live remap, which i hear is the best thing you can do for a G

charger will be rebuilt, although the jury is still out on the 65mm pulley

It scares the crap out of me thinking about pulling the edition one to bits :(

You would say that, your a ladieeeee! :whistle: :lol:

Eek sorryyy! Haha

Very nice car you have there mate, cant fault it!

lol at danny, watch out for :sheryl:

chris, just WOW that will be awesome once finished. whats this live remap thingy, rollin road and map?

live mapping is when you drive the car out on the road while its all plugged in and they set it up under real world driving conditions, rather than the rolling road method which can differ massively from the road driving

cheers guys

ahhh intresting, have you had a quote off G-Werks this sounds good?

lol @ you guys, im female, but thats a little sterotypical :wink:

live mapping is meant to be good, i was only talking abot it yesterday, expesive though?

live mapping is the only way you will get the best out of the G60, the generic chips are good but cant take into account different characteristics of the particular engine setup,
i am gonna do some live mapping at some point, probably when i get a proper clutch and stronger box

really started to get my ass in gear to sort the E1 out.

the plans have altered a little

Body wise it wont change, fully restored etc etc etc

Engine will now be a 1.9 16vG60

started the process already, picking up a KR on sunday and got a BBM crank pulley arriving friday.

more power = better brakes

bought these a little while ago



they are brackets for wilwood 4 pots

will kepp ya'll updated as i collect and build this beast.

this will be an awesome car when done, cant wait for it.

you doing any interior changes?

is someone askin for first dibs on the electric recaros HAHA

not a chance sorry chunky, going to be standard inside but super mint

nah im putting in mk5 recaros :no:



:lol:


thats what i wanted to here anyway, super mint standard ness :thumb:

well the driver project is nearing its completion and i have started to collect bits and bats for this almighty golf

new rear brake pressure regulator



BBM crank pulley



alternator relocation brackets



agjustable cam pulley (made from a standard one)



Scirocco 16v intake manifold



Gonna spend a couple of months collecting bits and sending parts off to be machined, might strip the G60 too

cheers

ooo a manifold :D this is gonna be immense, ill be watching close coz i want one of these one day

she coming home tomorrow :D

not driven it in ages :volksdevil:

gonna chuck a CTN box on this too :crazy:

found a company that does CNC machining along with stainless steel fabricating and powder coating :whistle:

In the mean time im buying a Polo GTI with the girlfriend :thumb:

wahoo properly under way then this? CTN box ftw, im already for mine, hydraulic clutch pedal is such an easy mod.
OEM+ will look sooooooo good on one of these, keep it top notch, im sure you will :thumb:

you know the best thing is i dont have to sort out a hydro clutch peal box, as its already got one standard from the factory.

how much should i look to pay for a CTN box

this car will blow my mind, not sure what other will think. but everything will be done to A1 condition.

gonna drive it today so well nervous

o ye i forgot G60 are hydraulic, im not sure on a price but around 100-150. there are some on ebay from stevens dismanlters at 130+ postage.

if your lucky you might a car with one in for cheaper, just get it checked out inside before you put it on i say.

:D yay, what was that about Polo hunting :confused: another project?

the polo hunting is down to a very inconsiderate BMW driver that decided to pull out on her. 2007 Polo 1.4 SE is now officially dead

Found One

picking up a white 57 plate polo gti when her insurance pay out comes.

been painting my inlet manifold



painted with caliper paint then oven baked. Bought a fuel rail for $69 from the US.



and test fitted to the manifold



this project is gonna be slow to start with.

Stripped out the ICE install from the boot too, think i have grown out of subs and stuff, gonna have a sublte install and a standard boot area.

cheers all

manifold looks origianl, very very nice indeed.

1.8t polo gti, very nice car for the missus :D

sweet looking car mate, wheels are awesome, Hows it all coming along now?

L

not really started doing anything as yet, just collecting parts and money, stripped the rear of it out though.

its a start, cheers guys

well with the driver project having come to an end i thought it be a good idea to start on the G60.

The idea is to have a 16VG60 Edition One by the end of march next year.

I am really worried i will get things wrong so i have labeled every single electrical connection, and bagged and tagged every single nut, bolt and washer. All the nuts and bolts will be replaced with stainless steel ones or zinc plated were i cant get replacments.

engine has been pulled (my mate thought it would look good with a audi employee in the pic) :roll:



most of the interior is out along with the dash and the front suspension is in bits.

Currently colllecting all the bits that need cleaning, blasting and powdercoating to get the rolling front chassis put together so i can turn the car around and do the back end, when all thats done it will go off to be repaired and paint.

will keep you all updated

oooo this is going to be a build to watch very closely :thumb:

Another great thread that has somehow slipped by me until now. :crazy:

Car looks fantastic, and the rebuild is going to be mega, i'll be keeping a close eye on this from now on.

hey all

sorry for the delay with updates and general conversation.

I have been proper busy with the G, once the engine was out all suspension components, subframe, crossmember and front engine mount bracket was removed and off to the blasters.

The front and rear seats, doorcards and all trim removed including the dash, carpets and insulation removed.

All the wiring from the engine bay and front part of the passenger footwells including fuse/relay box were also removed.

Front wings also removed and all the underseal painstakinly ground off from inside wheel arch, slight surface rust around battery tray treated and etch primed, also wheel arch etch primed and a new coating of underseal.

Engine partially stripped down, just bottom end intact.

Inside the car i fully clean down the front bulkhead and front footwells and applied aftermarket sound deadening, layed 36 sqft and only covered the passenger footwell and bulkhead area, going to need lots more me think.

Then i meet a lovely man from a VW trade parts centre, i then was releived of about £500 on all new nuts bolts and other goodies to help complete the resto of this car. Also bought ARP head studs for peace of mind

will get some proper pics up asap

Looking forward to seeing some pics, sounds like a proper job!

yeah come on chris, been waiting to long for this.

no doubt this will be a serious machine once finished :thumb:

well here are the pics

sand blasted and zinc primered parts







cleaned, etched primed and undersealed arches



sound deadened front footwells and dash area



bush set from GSF after i cut the old ones out the wishbones



and this is what £500 worth of genuine VW parts look like, pathetic really



Quick list of new parts

Gearbox end plate
power steering fluid res
all suspension bolts
most engine bolts and nuts
driveshaft bolts
rain tray
brake clips
side skirt brackets
coolant flanges
all new sensors
gaskets
ecu hose
cross member rubbers





ARP head studs i there too

Still got a ton to get, so happy about changing everything, should be like a new car

thanks for looking

can i get a job doing what you do?

this is epic pal, no other word for it. looking forward to how this goes, have fun and excellent work.

exactly what ill do with my golf when i have a nice garage and the money to do it with

:thumb:

O i dont have the oney for this at all

I steal off children to fund my habit

Cheers dude, cant wait to ship the body off to the bodyshop to get sorted.

BTW that stealing off children thing was a joke, i would ever do that :no:

Good news though, the car is booked into the body shop for thursday the 1st of october 2009 :crazy:

I have parts going to the powdercoaters next tuesday so i can rebuild the front end.

The engine bay is fully stripped of wax and most seam sealer, and has a fresh coat of acid8 etch primer.

Picked up more bits from VW too, word of warning, if anyone is thinking of changing the gearbox end crank seal you will be shocked. over £85 from the stealers. so i bought one :cry:

Completely stripped the starter motor down and prepped the metal work for paint, renewed the brushes, painted the metal work, left to dry, re assembled. and it looks amazing. pics soon.

Need help too

any idea where i can get a mk2 bonded windscreen from

cheers y'all

you cant chris :lol:

i honestly dont know to be honest, did you break the old one taking it out?

good luck anyway :thumb:
