project monster gti full shave and widebody

[marsh63]

here is my 87 gti. my last build thread i was so indecisive of what i wanted to do so here is the straight up plan.

16v 5 speed running megasquirt as the ecu.
gloss black body with widebody and full shave
motor bay is shaved and painted green with black assets
black interior with mk3 seats
small bumpers
corvette saw blades
quad round light set up
vmaxx suspension

and a whole lotta other stuff i will mention later

BUT LETS GET TO THE PICS

x2

Flares look very well done!

[marsh63]

well this week im going to get my car back to my shop and let kameron (big brother) finish his motor bay.

im gonna paint the 16v and tranny and other misc motor parts and then stuff that bit*h back in it.

then itll go back to his shop again so i can finish my widebody and the rest of the body work.

my goal for the end of may will be to get the motor and tranny in and the rear of the car to be done.

heres when i did the wheel wells

heres the rebuilt motor. i need to paint it to match my monster energy scheme.

and this is when i first got the turd. it was a 8v big bumper with small doors.

Only question is why do that much work and run ****ty coils?

[marsh63]

well if someone wants to donate the money for better coils be my guest. lol

im a 19 year old college student. money is tight. thank god i dont have to pay anyone to do any of my work on my car. i worked autobody for quite sometime and know alot about motors and such.

ill buy better coils if i have the fiances at the time it comes to buy them. right now i have syncro suspension so its a dam monster truck.

i had that excuse for a while too... then i decided to EFF it. 12k later my car is still not where i want it to be, and i have no money.

[marsh63]

im only at about 4k right now and its hard enought. im just thankfull that i have a bad ass shop at my house.

also id like to thank all my friends for the supplies and help.

thank you kameron for the motor and help and thank you esmir for the help with the motor bay.

there is gonna be quite a few others who are gonna help once it gets to the stage that they specialize in.

mega squirt is gonna be difficult since im not that good at wiring.

Syncro suspension?

I'm liking the widebody! Much milkder then I expected which is a GOOD thing

[JDIEM]

[vwkamshaft]

damn marsh. Just remember what we have been talking about.

[marsh63]

well im getting a trailer tonight or tomorrow and the paint for the motor and tranny. should have that done by mid next week. i need to get a gasket kit though so it might be a week before the motor goes in.

[uberaudi_91]

are you kamerons (with the red gti used to work at vw and drives a forest service jeep as his dd) brother?

[marsh63]

I'm not his real brother. People just consider us brothers

haha true that.

here is a true light photo of my bay. artificial light dosnt do justice to the green

[vwkamshaft]

i still need to pull mine out to show what the bay will look like in true light

[marsh63]

Well got the motor painted tonight and few other breackets painted. Hopefully will be able to throw the motor in later off in the day

[marsh63]

Here is the fresh painted motor and transmission. the valve cover is going to get resprayed so it matches better.

Looking good

[Unit01]

This dude is like "**** masking connectors brah."

[cyclops594]

Shapin' up real nice man. Lovin' that bay! :thumb:

[wezzo69]

lookin good my bru! keen to see it in its completion!!

[.:V.R.6.6.6:.]

In for awesomeness

[marsh63]

This dude is like "**** masking connectors brah."

i got all new sensors. didnt feel like wasting time to tape off the old ones.

got the motor in today. the valve cover paint didnt quite match so ill repaint it with the base coat clearcoat i have left from the bay.

Sweetness

[marsh63]

welp i decided to rip into my wiring harness tonight. got rid of probably a 100 wires that arnt going to get used. im about to buy a painless wiring kit and eliminate all this nonsense.

how is it that mega squirt can run a whole motor off of 12 wires? why didnt vw do that in the beginning.

well hopefully my megasquirt kit and harness come in this week so i can get a intake manifold and start the dam beast

[Golcin]

Wow
This color are sweet!

[Gnar-kill]

looking good man. Love the arches.
