No engine yet.

Yeah true

I’m now converting my little 1.1 golf to a 1.8 16v kr
Things I had to do so far
Cut, flip, move and weld drivers side engine mount and change front, rear and gearbox mount
Change steering rack for a gti rack and gti gear linkage
oh and paint bay
Engine came out of a mk2 golf z600 some photos of car and taking engine out

Danielle taking rad out

Engine nearly out

out

most of wiring out

getting my engine out

and out

Bay painted and gti rack in

the z600 bodykit wont be any use to you though when all you need is the engine

Hi bud wt u doin with rest of car have u gt a petrol cap 1 of the rubber straps thT hold parcel shelf up and wt seats and back lights has it gt bud

The cars not mine mate i can see if he's selling any parts off it

int that jims old mk2 off here?? does it still over heat or is it all running propa now???

it hasnt yet ive put new rad and expansion tank on so fingers crossed

hopefully sorted then.

probably would of been good practice to replace the thermostat and possibly water pump while you was at it bob. least then it would be done.

have you changed the cam belt kit since youve owned the engine???
