Nice project! Seems a shame about the vento as there aren't many left, will you be putting the vento front on the golf?

Got quite a bit done this week, and today stripping the Golf with Kyle. Stripped off doors, wings and front end. Dash out, back end stripped. Up on stands, start on the underside next week. Slight bit

Good progress on the mk3 dude!

Well a little update from yesterday and today, got a fair bit done. Dash support and heater box out along with fusebox and dash wiring. Engine and subframe out, started stripping the Vento of bits I need, got the central locking pump out and some of wiring and pipework for the locking, fitted the fuel flap actuator, not sure where the pump exactly goes on the Golf, it seems a tight squeeze compared to the Vento it was just pushed inside the rear quarter. Any ideas? Maybe the Golf has a smaller casing round the pump? Fuel pump and pipes removed as somebody had cut the pipes while it was parked up a couple of years ago

Looks like you've had a busy weekend! Pump for Central locking is normally located behind drivers side rear light, so you've almost got it right. And those recesses in the b pillar, I've got those on my 97 5 door. Working at this pace it won't be long before you're up and running. Well done!

Cheers pal, needs to be done for Tatton Park, if not sooner. The pump was in the passenger side qtr on the Vento and pulled out the pump wiring loom from there as far as the dash, need to get it out the drivers side yet and wherever else it goes. Is there normally a bracket holding the pump do you know? Want to fit it in the right place

The pump and it's poly box is held in place with a rubber strap I believe. I'll check when I'm outside in the next few minutes.

Thanks. Need to know also does the vac pipe run through on the drivers side, I've got the loom and washer pipe on the passenger side, and two rubber bungs on the drivers side I'm presuming the pipe runs on that side?

Well only a little update, engine and box out the VR thanks to a few helpers, James Cunningham thanks. Really didn't feel like doing anything today, not well but a bit of brute force and ignorance it was out, Kyle motivates me a lot he doesn't stop or give in

Cheers pal, the more I think about it there is still a hell of a lot to do and only three months to my deadline, and I go away for a long weekend next weekend, then away for 10 days in June so really got our work cut out!
