Mk2 GTi Syncro Build - Operation MOT

Sadly not at the rate I want. And soon funds are going to become and issue

 

I’ll pass on all of them. I have no interest at all

 

some fine Japanese men then? no judging here...

 

Central Tokyo I believe. I wish I could but sadly, days off aren’t really something we get

 

Well it’s been shipped off to storage for a few weeks whilst I’m away, again



it’s new home.

 

Whilst sitting here in isolation in Japan again I’ve been creating some lists. I think the next step is to get it rolling, stopping etc.

Without engine this is what I need to just get it rolling.



Which is pretty depressing!

 

It’s more the list of to buy, bar a couple of items. None of it is difficult work tbh

 

No worries, I’ve got it all in my basket on eBay

No idea, nothing about it is TT so it doesn’t matter. Just the calipers going onto mk2 stuff

 

dont forget I have a pair of syncro rear discs to get shot of if you still want em

 

I totally forgot about these, yes please! I’ll grab them when I come and get my wiring if that’s alright?

 

Next dilemma.. fuelling.

I’m slowly trying to overcome my last few snags whilst I’m out here.

I ‘think’, i’m going to design a fuel cell for underneath the car that’ll accept a standard Mk2 Gti lift pump and then run an second pump under the car with a Mk3 bracket or something, to try and get the fuelling as standard as possible. This also means ill be able to make it a decent size, 45/50L like standard.

2nd option is to just buy a fuel cell and mount it in the boot, but I do want to try and make the car as useable as possible and this would hinder that. Plus will mean the noise and then routing the fuel lines back to underneath the car.

3rd option… any other ideas?
