T700bes Corrado ABF conversion

[t700bes 0]

Hey everyone,

VWdom asked me to start a build thread on here (probs to say how he has been helping). He's a good lad Cheers Dom!!!

So, I had a Corrado 1.8 16V Kjet injection

After a few months of driving the car seemed to develop a low oil pressure problem, before I had time to solve it it burnt all its oil and the motorway and the bottom end went...

This is what she looked like when I bought her:

I didn't like the front lights, and there was a few things to tidy up...

So i worked on the rust on the rear arch:

And the end result:

Swapped the lights:

So, after this little tidy up the bottom end went... What was I to do:

1. VR it...

2. Fix the shells on the bottom end

I'm still not sure about a VR, so I found a MK3 ABF golf VERY cheap and thought, strip it for parts and do an engine conversion, i'll get a similar engine to what I had with a few more brake, and a new ignition setup

I'll probs end up turboing the ABF engine

So the work began to strip the golf:

Thats where I am now, the golf is going this week, I need to fix the missus Polo, and then the Raddo is in for its love...

Plans:

Smooth the bay

Annihilate Rust

ABF engine in

Replace parts that need it

There is a long list, but this will do for now
