'95 Golf Sport overhaul.

[81rabbit]

Looking great man! Can't wait to see it all painted up with those wheels

[Jettin2Class]

Yeah, I've seen you post in the SW forum quite a bit. Is Dave still running that box? That was a fun project.

All this jibba jabba and I just now found this thread and post. Yes, Dave is still running that box, though his amp/wiring may be toast and the box is flopped face down in the trunk. I think it needs to go visit the good doctor, along with my 914!

Bring them on up here buddy! Time to reinvigorate your passion for the 914.

Looks like a promising build, I'm in for the end

[Jettin2Class]

Is this car done and in paint yet? There are other cars waiting you know.

Haha, I wish Dave!

[Jettin2Class]

Any updates?

[.yuk.]

Where did you get that shift knob? I need one of those

Amazon. Here.

And I should have some updates soon, as the body is almost ready for primer. Shooting an epoxy followed by a high build urethane.

[Ilich]

Updates?

[EasyTarget]

Updates?

Patience grasshopper.

Made some progress today, got the drivers door removed and stripped of seals, glass, wiring, etc. Got it straightened out, and ready for primer. I took a few pictures, but they don't show too much so I won't bore you guys with them. All I have left to do on the shell is straighten the rockers and it will be ready for epoxy.

I MK3 with 16v

[Jettin2Class]

Bump for updates.

[EasyTarget]

Here's a little update. Just sent payment for these two little gems!

[Jettin2Class]

I hope some progress is being made because it's looking pretty good that a certain hybrid car will be ready to come your way this summer.

for the 16v!

who made the manifold?

I believe it was made by Racecraft. I'm going to have a T3 flange welded on soon, since I plan on running a Precision turbo instead of the GT30 this thing is v-banded for.

I also picked up a Cabrio trunk lid for the trunk recess and emblem, hopefully getting started on that soon.

Thanks for the support guys.

The door for the golf was only $37 from the dealer? I know im late, but if it was that cheap im going to head to the dealer for some doors instead of junk yard

IIRC it was ONLY passenger side...Hoods were $16 I think

I dont know what IIRC means but holy crap thats cheap! Is this at every dealer or only one?

[Jettin2Class]

If I Remember Correctly (IIRC) the hoods were $30, and all VW dealers. They're blowing them out because "nobody" drives Mk3s any more. A/C clutch for VR6, normally ~$450--> mine for $60. Makes me wonder what else they have that they are blowing out. Awesome stuff Darren. It'll look great.

PS: I may want the engine bay shot ~soon.

More pics!!!

[EasyTarget]

Got a little work done yesterday.

Buttoned up the fenders, got them flared how I want, they're ready for primer now.





And started to tack my Cabrio plate recess into the hatch. Pretty excited that the trunk lid I got came with a mint VW emblem, which fits the Golf hatch perfectly, so I don't need to worry about finding a new emblem. Also, the wiper hole will be welded up soon.



In her current state.



Can't wait until she is in paint!

[Jettin2Class]

Good stuff Darren. I look forward to seeing it take more shape and get in paint too.

[GTi2OV]

Promising.

[xjewx24x]

Looks good man! Did you shave the button on the plinth above the plate recess as well?

[BlueDevilCabby]

Yes. Just used the popper in the center console. If you do that you will need to make some modifications to the popper location etc.

[EasyTarget]

My plan was to shave it as well, I really don't need it to work since I have the popper.

But a little update, I shaved the wiper hole, and finished up my welds around the plate. Just need to do a little finishing with a hammer and dolly and get it smoothed out.

Gotcha. Ya, when you take that lock out, it'll stop the popping feature since the linkage connects to it..I'll snap a pic when I get home how I did it.
