My Coupe project, started at last!!!

Ok then, today at last I finally got to starting my project by the time I had got it moved to the unit I only had about an hour, so haven't done much. I'll try and keep a log of everything I do as i go along. So this is how it started! it's a long way from the cleanest of cars, but I have plans

and i found this thing that I don't remember seeing on my golf pre R32, I just wondered what it is, it has vaccum hoses and a pipe that looks like it goes to the tank. The tubular looking thing that is in my passenger (right hand side) wing.

this is going to be sick!

It was on ebay a few months ago. got it for a grand I think, paint is terrible, and there is a few minor rust patches that need attention but no biggy. It's got all kinds of wierd things on it, extra bits of metal for strength.

yesterday I had ben helping me, and with a bit off messing we pulled the poopy engine out :thumbup:

oh yeah i forgot to say, pretty much everything that is coming off is for sale (bumpers already gone so don't ask). I'm converting it to RHD too so if you've got a lefty and you're stuck for parts, I might be able to help.

Defo keep us posted on the right to left conversion bud are you gonna be tracking the car or using her as a daily when done mate?

left to right will be pretty straight forward tbh, I'm just going to take everything off the golf.

The challenge will be building my own msa spec cage, and moving everything back so I sit almost in the back seat! It'll be an out and out track car by the time I'm done. I'll still keep it road legal though, it's to much money to spend not to be able to drive it when ever I want. Not to mention fun going out and making ferraris look slow!! lol

some project dude,will be awesome performance and noise

I canny wait to see this progress, it's gonna be a feckin monster!

Sweet another 2 door what year is yours? If your getting rid of the lhd stuff I'll take the bit that goes behind the center vents and the linkage from the rack to the column. Oh and what do you want for the mirrors or just the Glass for them?

looking forward to seeing the progress on this, almost wet myself when i saw it on ebay! good luck with the project.

i like engine you chose for the conversion

cool job all right,did the same conversion on my coupe...the rhd conversion isnt all that bad...keep up the work!!!

nice project! i wanted to do an r32 conversion on mine for its next engine transplant.
Do you know what there like to do yet?

sweet! must update us with a few pics soon
