Do u mean location off fuel pump or location off fuse to fuel pump

jedi if your still after a grill i have one which i would be willing to part with for a very small fee

Its alive!! well it was for about 10mins, the dizzy cap, rotor arm and plugs look like they were originally on the titanic and when i went to fit the new ones the bright spark behind the counter at eurocarparts had sold me the wrong ones, did sound pretty interesting for those 10mins though. Interested in the grill stari pm me the details

andi still can't get the thing to run properly

This car is bringing me to the end of my sanity still won't rev and dies after ticking over for a minute or so, now the fuel pump housing is leaking like a siv, bloody thing

Result! its running again and properly this time, after trying nearly every fuel and electrical related part from the black pearl, I found that the banjo bolts on the supply and return lines had been fitted wrong swapped them over and she fired up spot on, also managed to sort the power steering-by putting fluid in it lol! just got sort the fuel pump housing and bolt it back up to the car, reconnect the clutch cable and sort the non existent rocker cover gasket then its mot time

I thought I recognised the reg number! Whilst looking through that many many pictures i've saved on my computer of nice jettas, I cam accross a few pictures of your car! I can't remember where I got them from but I thought you might like to have a gander Excellent find by the way... I'm green with envy

I uploaded the pics to photobucket especially for you

Now i know why your arch's have been cut away James (slamage).

Think they are the G60 arch's on the front? Look like anyway.

Glad to hear its comimg together mate and if i can help with any bits from the Golf, give me a call

Good luck wth the MOT.

well done James.top marks
lets hope "red rum" looks as good when your finished as in the pics that "cacadoodledoo123" has supplied.

wow what did they let happen!! well it now moves as well as runs, changed the rocker cover gasket today and the coolant return no more oil leaks yay! coolant tank weeping boo! and the downpipe blowing is irratating but theres light at the end of the tunnel just hope its not a train lol!

i love it! From bad times to good times.

i like the idea of cut arches, but thats lots more excesive than i have ever done!

Well done! Sweet project there man!

amazing the difference that wheels make

Those wheels suit it down to the ground, far better than the usual BBS etc. in my opinion.

free bump
anymore progress james

Running issues finally sorted i hope! new coolant tank fitted so no more leaks rear lights and indicators swapped still quite a major list of things to sort

fuel leak near pump
blowing downpipe
rebuild rear brakes
swap g60 front brakes and braided hoses from the black pearl
strip and rebuild rear beam
strip and rebuild wishbones and ARB
fit coilovers
replace front wings and plastics
tidy up rear arches

where do i begin

At the begining

Managed to fix the blowing downpipe today and the fuel leak, turns out after trying to remove the downpipe it was actually where the manifold bolts to the head that was blowing. One stud was missing all the other nuts were loose and the icing on the cake all four gaskets were missing sounds so much better now. But for every good there is a bad went to try the wipers after fitting some aero blades and snapped the previously bodged wiper stalk DOH!

ooooops.
treat it like a lady, give it a good thrashing

Spare available for you here mate if needed.

Sounds like your making good progress anyway.

Funny you should ask as i do have one available.

Give me a call and we can sort out a date to return it back to ya.....

Hijack over----

The misfire is gone after alot of parts and ten times as much swearing turns out it was the injectors all along. So this weekend is gonna involve a lot of part swapping and hopefully venommotorsport will finally send my bits i ordered 28 days ago
