Me again guys

My missus has finally joined the VW gang and treated herself to this little gem.....

187418


07 plate 1.9tdi but with the engine and box out of a 4 motion 140bhp Golf.
So not only has she got 140bhp but a 6 speed box too, can't believe how lucky we were getting it for only 1k!!!!

187420


Im sure you will agree its an excellent base to start with.

We got it cheap as it has some issues, a minor power steering leak, central locking issue and no gears, but on inspection. Its because they don't have the 6 speed shifter in the van, the other bits are an easy fix.
Will have another build thread for you here aswell as our T4!
She's got these ready for it tho..

Plenty more to come, I hope you enjoy this thread as much as the T4 one

She decided to remove the Caddy and TDI badges on the rear and add her new family sticker.

And a touch of Dejavo here....

Stripped out all of the inside, found loads of rock wool behind the panels and a very cheaply designed boarding system.
Decided to rip the lot out and make a start on the inside.
Will post progress pics tomorrow. Need to defluff the inosde now, it's hairier than my bum hahaha

And since then the engine decided it wanted to part company with a rod so once my vans back its time to hunt for a replacement BLS engine for Harley
We will be using this downtime to build out the inside for Kate the way she wants it
