sweet project man! think I met you at the dubs for ti ts show in Maple Grove, I had the satin green slammed bug. Thinking about getting my Mk2 back out next year again. Nice to see you're going full on with the build here.

Looking real nice

Anymore pics with the green and black steelies?

**Mean 'n Green86** · 08-18-2010 03:14 PM

no they were powdercoated white then traded. more new parts friday

**Mean 'n Green86** · 08-21-2010 09:45 PM

new parts update. i now have all my front end bushings and mk3 subframe. gotta plan a junkyard run this friday for the rest of my disc brake setup. next up is por 15 and a welder if i can find a reasonably priced one. also my walboro fuel pump

mk3 subframe before

a small orgy of new parts

**Mean 'n Green86** · 08-23-2010 08:39 PM

i'm hoping to have my front end put together in the next 2 weeks. i need to order my por-15 then i can really take off with progress. i'm gonna go big and pick up a hobart welder soon so progress will slow as i save up funds.
progress from today
chrome is over-rated i'm definately going anti-bling with this build

done. not top dollar but good for on a budget build

kids helped too

**Mean 'n Green86** · 10-03-2010 09:51 PM

I've done some work in the past few weeks.
short runner and fuel rail are fitted up and mounted. 440cc injectors

subframe cleaned up and painted with chassis saver. its just like por-15 only you can buy it at snavely and dosch and its 35$ for a pint.

oh and the new wheel i picked up at h2o from the guys at orchid euro

**Salsa GTI** · 12-07-2010 07:12 PM

While your doing parts replacement...get the bushings for the front crossmenber to frame...often over looked part that makes the engine movement un bearable...yea my spelling and grammer suck....

**Salsa GTI** · 12-07-2010 07:14 PM

IM sent for important stuff and info

**1986GLMK2** · 12-07-2010 09:53 PM

your stuff is looking good GL with the rest

**Mean 'n Green86** · 12-08-2010 06:08 AM

thanks. heres a little diy for some who might not know. i wanted to paint my distributor to match my engine.

at the bottom there is a roll pin. grab a punch and knock that out

then pull the shaft up through on the rotor side but be careful there is a washer in between the rotor and the base of the distributor. unscrew the sensor and carefully slide that up and out. then mask and paint

installed

brakes rebuilt and installed, new front wheel bearings, 10.1 brakes

**Heidelberg2az** · 12-08-2010 06:21 AM

Looking good

**Salsa GTI** · 12-08-2010 11:40 AM

thats old shool tech for spark to get lost...........

your painter buddy should be able to help you with this. we used teik (think it's spelled right?) and sprayed 3 coats af candy red and 12 coats of clear, the 12 coats helps make it so you can sand it glass smooth. coolest thing i ever saw

ooops nope it is spelled wrong it is teak

**bodhi_tree777** · 01-10-2011 11:11 PM

one of my favorite ongoing projects, glad you're still working on it. Whatever became of the wooden wheel surround? Not that the other wheel isn't sweet as hell and all..

**Ickey** · 01-10-2011 11:26 PM

this would be the sort of build i would do i kind of am half assing my way through it with out a garage so i cant rip the car apart like i want too. oh well maybe later down the road ...and awesome build OP

**brandon0808** · 01-10-2011 11:34 PM

tail lights with the tint. real easy

Sweet car. What did you use to tint your tail lights and where did you buy it?

**Mean 'n Green86** · 01-11-2011 08:58 AM

no i just picked up that wheel cause i'm the other kind of wheel whore. i love unique steering wheels. the wood scirocco wheel is still my end goal for this car. its collecting dust at my dad's. i should get on him since he's unemployed at the moment.

tail light tint is a tranpearant candy apple red i bought at a craft store in the model car section

**gjmann** · 01-11-2011 11:33 AM

did the tint come put glossy??

**Mean 'n Green86** · 01-11-2011 12:22 PM

oh sorry i forgot to mention it comes in a spray can. you just have to do good prep work and they will come out nice. i imagine a clean clear coat will make them even better

**kinkerstinker** · 01-11-2011 12:37 PM

edit: my stupidity.

glad to see you got some progress goin on. i haven't checked this thread in a while.
