Default Mk2 Golf 8v into 20v, England

Hi, i thought i'd better sign up as i've been looking at this forum for a while and the facebook page and thought i'd share my journey on my MK2.

well i picked up a 1991 8v back 2 years ago.













I drove it about for some time and then decided on some maintenance and a change to 20v. i've skipped a lot but here's some of the journey.

The front drivers side wishbone joint was looking a bit sorry for itself :o




so ive added on some S2 twin pots



changed the charge pipe setup for that of a k04



new genuine mounts:



got it all in the car



a couple of nights of work and its back like this:



just loosly put in the new subframe while i clean up the engine bay and the old power steering rack



the new daily :violin:




also ordered a new trackslag exhaust , the slanty tip one to look OEM.

its no longer my daily driver but also not a show car


this was from 2017 Volksfest


















Cooling sorted, plumbed, bled..ready to drive! now for some dry weather


painted my intercooler pipes and fitted a new larger radiator. Just waiting on the fan bracket so that i can add the fan and fill it up with coolant again.

Currently awaiting some parts so that i can refurbish the rear axle, brakes and anything else on the rear. also splitting the BBS and going wider with those.

thanks
for looking
