Scaley 0 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi,Im building my MK3 golf to compete in time attack next year, the spec will be roughly!S4 quattro running gear with audi S8 gearboxLongitudinal mounted VR6 Turbo engine17x9.5 wheelsCustom steel archesLots of aero (prob similar to carpi golf)Thats the basics now for a couple of photos!The shell when I got it!The shell rolling on standard running gear with panels!and lastly, in my bodyshop starting to get stripped down ready for shot blasting next week. Going to make a rollover jig this weekend will make it easier to mock up the tranny!Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites

Scaley 0 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Talk about a bargain...................... Ive managed to pick up an R32 head for £102 and a AUE engine for £200 that makes the perfect hybrid engine for £320 plus some petrol money!I believe someone in my other thread said that the head bolts are 2 different diameters? Will have to look into it when I get them, nothing a bit of machining cant sort out! Link to post Share on other sites
