Tigz™ Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I don't think I realised how much work was involved in being a Dad, and I wasn't expecting my morgage payments to go up so much. I'd be finished a couple of years ago if it wasn't for Northen Rocks Bankers LOL I also prefer the new wheels, I'm not gonna have to take them off everytime I want to drive the car hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Just writeing a list of everything that needs doing, so I can try and try to work out what needs doing for each part, and if anyone thinks I have missed anything, I would be happy to be told N/S engine bay: Weld chassis.Rust issue Sorting.Fill, sand and paint chassis leg.Route Throttle Cable.Sort out the pedel box (Not looking forward to this.)Make and mount a bracket for the catch tank.O/S engine bay: Clean Polish chassis leg.Drive train: Remove Coilovers, clean, paint and wax.Clean up and paint wheel hubs.Grind down welds.Stone chip inside the wheel arches.Try to refit wheel arch lineings - Changed my mindReplace the brake lines to work with Golf Calipers (why am I so tight? )Fit ARBFit Coilovers, wheel hubs and brakes.Engine: Get bolt holes counter sunk and sort something for the vacume feed on the plate.Remove inlet manifold and replace with the plate and bodies.Fit some kind of mount to the engine for the throttle cable.Deside on an ECU so I know what other work is needed to be done before fitting the engine.Fit EngineGoing to do in that order, as I think once I get started doing stuff, the wiring loom wont seem so scary.Any advice/tips on any of these jobs would be much appreciated. A Job gets completed, and I end up with more work than I started with! Refit the dash!New List!Fit Lupo GTI Calipers (changed my mind with the Golf items)Fit GTI Rear Beam and handbrake cablesPaint Doors and interiorPaint BodyPainted Top GTI engine and fitFront end and Radiator refittedRemoved Power Steering pipes and pumpThrottle linkage correctly installed!Audio cables installed correctlyThrottle cable installed (somehow!

veedubdude Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 How much is your motec costing with fitting and mapping, and who is doing it? Can't wait to see/ hear this going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 It's a chap in the North East that Mitch knows. I'm not sure how much he charges, I've been given a figure but I don't know if that's a special price or not, I'll try to find out. It's pretty good value though, and is a complete tow in, drive out service. He's already done Mitch's mates Polo, obviously Mitch and I are leaving it later than expected LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icegeezer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 £50 a weeks isnt bad dude, take a few weeks off and £100 later lupo done!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Found a unit for let, too expencive though, dude wants £50 per week for it!£50 a week, what a joker! Remember the lock-up I used to keep my Lupo in, brick walls, steel secure door and good access, it was £3.20 a week. Too small to do major work in but big enough to keep the car in and work on the engine or one side at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 The council doesn't have anything like that left though, when they do they are given to people who have been on the waiting list for 500 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
