I have been working on "KL-EEN 1" today

Almost finished making more room for the driveshafts. I should be able to drop it all the way now



I didn`t have any gas left for the welder, so it isn`t 100% finished yet.






I need to change the engine-mounts on my new dieselengine.
(The engine is from a Golf 2)

This is the mount on the TDK-engine:



As you can see the mount from the old 1.8 is much shorter:



I also startet looking for a place for the InterCooler.
But not much space ...

Some work done tonight.

I have ordered new carpets og door panels from US today.
Removed the interior and started the planning of the AirRide installation.



Since the theme of my project is CLEAN, I am going to do a hidden AirRide install.



After some brainstorming I think I will end up with something like this.
I have to wait for my kit to arrive before I make up my mind completly



With this install I can access all the components behind the backseat.
I will install a MDF-wall which will hide all the "stuff" when you look through the rearhatch.

Update..
Finally I got the last engine-mount

3 (!!!) hours later the mount was out of the old car. It`s not easy to remove this mount with the engine still in the car. But I didn´t give up



Here you go KL-EEN!!



Back in the garage I started with my TDK engine.






I will use this weekend to clean up and paint my engine. I`ll come back with more updates reagarding this.

What`s happening to my airride? IT`S IN EUROPE Yesterday it was in Germany. I should have it next week. Weeeeeee!!!

I was talking to UPS today, and they told me that my AirRide will arrive Thursday

First up tonight was to check how much I could lower the rear of the car without any modifications. I think this will turn out reeeeal good






The engine will get some paint and shine this week. I haven`t desided what color I want on the engine, but I think it will be silver/grey.









Stay tuned!

Finally!!! Today the AirRide arrived!!! I am looking forward to install this next week.


This kit is modified which means shorter front and rear-struts compared to the standard Golf/Rabbit-kit.


Here´s the frontstrut



They also made a custom-bracket so I can drop the strut closer to the driveshaft.


I think the car will be EXTREME low Just as I like it ..!!
So if you check this thread saturday, you can see how low it got

I have been kinda busy these last days and I have also given my daily som TLC.

But I have ordered some parts for the project.



And two new front strut-towers for my modification of the height of KL-EEN.
They should arrive from Germany next week and I will start working with the mod right away
