Well,
Been looking for a project car for a while now. While I was looking I bought myself a 1.8t engine  So here is the car as it stands, collected it tonight. Thanks Mark  I hope to tackle the wiring issue next week and get it running.  Have some G60 steels ready to fit.   My plan is to have a standard looking fast road car, big brakes, good coilovers, either KW V3's or H&R monotubes and uprated ARB's I'm going to strip and powdercoat the suspension components and polybush the complete car while I'm at it. Interior and exterior needs tidying, I'll get it done bit by bit More to come -------------------- |

Nice project Neilo. I ran G60's steels on my 20v and I think they are just that bit too narrow, on the back anyway. 8 wide would be the business.

I'll see how I get on with them to start. Will prob pick up something else for shows n'stuff. QUOTE (mk4dub @ Feb 10 2010, 12:38 AM) Nice new project Neil, good luck with it! What did the 1.8t come out of? Came out of an octavia, it's an AUM. All going well I'll stick a K04 on it too

Cheers lads Yes I plan to do as much of the work as I can Kev, never did anything like this before so a steep learning curve for me. I have a sabbatical from work to take this year so I'll have two months off to get some bits done. I hope to have the interior suspension, brakes and underside of the car cleaned and powder coated before then so I can concentrate on fitting the engine. Big plans
