Alex has taken the golf off the road, again, this time to turbo the ABF. We're been working hard over the last few months putting this lump together, manufacturing the exhaust and manifolds and getting everything bolted together. Finally the cars back on the ground and theres just a few minor things to do before she can be fired up this weekend hopefully.

So whilst dropping the subframe I discovered a small hole in it, upon a bit more investigation it turns out it was more of a hole than i first thought. I thought it might be fixable with some plate welded on but since its around where the wishbones attach i think a new sub frame is in order.

Spotted on SWDubs forum - one of the best looking mk2s ive seen for a long time. Bringing back, in part, that 90s vibe!

The 20v conversion begins.

After a long hiatus of no new posts we’re back in action with a few new VW based projects. This time its my own engine conversion, saying goodbye to the trusty 8v and hello, eventually, to the 20v turbo sat in the shed.

The weekend saw the removal of my the engine, loom, subframe and front running gear, so now Im left with and empty engine bay.
