Project "break-a-golf-in-a-day"

Well, it's started, I've just had my mate (and fellow racer) Rich come over and start taking the second car apart. We're trying to strip as much as we can as quickly as we can, I want to try and keep the engine, gearbox and front suspension together as one and move it all out in one piece, that way it should be relatively easy to move around on it's wheels!

Here's a picture as we'd just started... Rich managed to get the bonnet off quicker than my N95 managed to focus!

Before

And after some four hours of work we managed to get most of it un-bolted, almost ready to roll out from under the car.

After!

Now for the big-reveal!

As some of you know I've got a VW Fastback shell in storage waiting for build-up into a race car, but as yet I don't have an engine/gearbox etc. Well... Plans change and given I now have an engine/gearbox etc "spare" I'm thinking RNJ Motorsport will be getting a call to locate this 150bhp Golf GTi motor in the back of said Fastback shell! The aim is reliable, dependable power without costing the earth, and with the likes of James Hodson running serious power from the 20vT motors (which are physically very similar to the 16v you see here) the upgrade path is obvious.

This is how the project stands at the moment....

Looking sad in the lockup.

Here is my inspiration...

Doug Harvey's awesome car.

How close the final product is we will see!!
