Im sure it will be worth it in the end though, cant wait for that first sign of life from the engine.That first Gulp of air through them little trumpets is making me wet thinking about it!Remember everyone (and no disrespect to Andi here) Andi is not a mechanic or a car modifying regular. He is (like me I suppose) just enthusiastic about his car and is learning as he does this conversion. Makes what he is doing even more impressive. Mucho respecto to the lad!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks Darren, Im really proud of myself, even for the little work that has been done.Even the little things like finsihing the brakes, and fitting the anti roll bar makes me think I might just pull it off.hope you have plenty spare underpants, cos looking at those pictures id be shatting myself!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> me too mate?.....'crap where did this wire go???' style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /><{POST_SNAPBACK}>Dudes I try to avoid looking at that wireing loom, that and the pedel is the only thing that keeps me awake at night.Still, its not as if its not been done before, and Im sure the techies will continue to help me out when things get tricky style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 jesus andi - you are a brave man indeed<{POST_SNAPBACK}>haha mate, theres nothing brave about it.After a few choice words, and a lot of head scraching, it was noted that the one remaining bolt couldn't be got to with everything else comeing out.Bloody VWs style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />So the dash came out.But the bolt stll couldn't be removed.Steering shaft next, two bolts loose.One you just cant get to!Cant wait to smash up the drive by wire unit.Once removed, it became obvious the whole bracket was in the way, so this had to be hacket out!Still, its done now.Phoned Emma to give her a warning, she came home and started on the tea, must have been an hour after when she went out side and looked at it.Not best pleased at all lolLoving the exposed gear linkages though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 hope you were watching were things went <{POST_SNAPBACK}>lol yes, Im a little less scared of putting it back.The scary part is trying to take it all apart when you have no idea how its put together.If I get stuck, Im sure a few self tappers and a bit of gaffa tape will hold it in place style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> might be popping past again sometimeAs you can tell from the post count.Im around most days style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />Thanks again for the help mate.I owe you one.

Loopy Lupo Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 andi mate - did you write down any sort of order or owt for which bits go where? i'm guessing i already know the answer to this you mad *******! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 lmao, nar, removing it should be the hardest part.Its not as if all of the screws have to be fitted is it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />Hardest part of it all was removing the bloody light switch! Just glad it was Mitch, other wise I would have smashed it out, and I'll be seaching for a replacment now!Seriously though, I dont think it will be too diffcult.With the exception of two bolts, every screw is the same size and lenth.Only tricky bit I can see, is trying to hold the dash in place.After seeing Emmas face yesterday, I dont think I have the guts to ask for for a lift lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
