Result on the screen Mike; that's bloody cheap mate. I'm looking forwards to seeing the sunstrip in place

Have done a bit more to the golf over the last week had the windscreen fitted so i could fit the sunstrip.



wrapped the exhaust manifold forgot how nasty this job was.


ordered a baffled sump from jabba sport which turned up next day


painted up the gearbox went for 205 graphite grey repainted the engine




And then finally put the engine back in its home.



pick a pair of these up
Hopefully will get the the shell looking back together tomorrow now the engines in can put the front end on

Very nice progress Mike.

The sunstrip looks well on there, and your MK2 with Trev's MK1 will look so sweet side by side. I bet you look back on this, once complete, with a swell of pride. It may be a humble Golf, but we all know just how fast these little 80's hatchbacks can be with love and attention

I feel a bit proud to have two UK versions of Berg Cup cars on this forum.

Thanks for the update

[mikeb]

Well after 8 months the golf finally looks like a car again what was supposed to be a refresh turned out to be a full rebuild.



engine loom all connected and engine bay finished

front end on so now looks like a car.
