Little Green Giant Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) had a proper good clean, polish and wax today, hopefully he'll stay clean for a while LOLneed to swap the gearboxes over asap, new clutch, disks, pads, exhaust. Then comes the tuning and performance ugrades, as well as some body modifications... never have been a fan of center exhausts Edited April 1, 2013 by Little Green Giant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 slow progress today, but i do have most things undone to enable me to drop the gearbox out tomorrow and fit the new one. Hopefully that should see the car running like it should again, and then its onto the brakes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 have had a right mental weekend. turns out removing a gearbox from this silly old car was more trouble than i expected! hahahopefully will get the new one back in this week without any issues and get the car back on the road! anyway, gearbox is off, and new clutch is on. so next up is to swap all the bits from the old gearbox onto the new one and then fit it all back together! fun week ahead!

Rich Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I noticed that.Looks rapey.It is probably the rapiest one out there. It needs a rapey name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The Red Baron is a decent name on the Rapey scale. He only strikes during that time of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 haha! I like the no spoiler look... which is good because i dont have the money to buy one! hahathe gti standard spoiler is too small for me, if im going to bother it will have to be something bigger!it is pretty Rapey! but then its my car... both my cars are a bit rapey! hahahai think The Baron is a pretty apt name to be honest! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 so, he is still in the same state as above. new gearbox is fitted, but due to the current weather situation, i havent been able to work on it fully for a whole day.So, new clutch is on, New Gearbox is fitted, all that needs to be done now is link up drive shafts, gear Linkage set up, fill the box with oil and stick the wheels back on! LOLso hopefully NEXT weekend will see him completed! We'll see! this has now taken me 3 days to do. safe to say, unless i have a ramp and a garage, i wont be doing a gearbox change again! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
