really liking this mate, reminds me on my first nk2 seat ibiza, i love it,
keep up the good work bud
keep up the good work bud
would be wicked for such a small engine, to put all the battery and washer bottle etc in the boot or in the scuttle...
probably a lot mor work than you wanted but itd be v.different, and would look pretty swish i think
That is a proper good idea
Might look into that, you have any info on what length cable and what size I would need?
400AMP welding wire is what i used for the battery i think....
proly bought about 7m of the stuff so i got + and - out of it with stuff to spare, bet it only cost me 25 quid or so aswell
best wire youll get is welding wire, nicely insulated and carries plenty of amps
if you went for the fully stripped engine bay itd suit the style youve gone for, for the rest of the car i reckon

I have been trying to clean up my engine bay, Like painting odd bits, take bolts I don't need off ( I know i shouldnt do this) lol
What about for the washer fluid tank?
theres loads of bits you could do, like hide wiring in conduit under the chassis rails and hide random bits which i cant think of right now
if youve dewipered the boot wiper, youve already got some washer hose going from front to back so you could use that and put the bottle in the boot... then itd be a simple wiring job to get it to work properly... mk1 golfs had a rear mounted washer bottle thats simple as to mount if thats any use as opposed the the huge thing in the engine bay... just ideas anyways
if you do move the battery, ring everything to the starter motor + and then send the cable to the boot, as opposed to using a junction box... makes it loads neater

sounds good to me, I wonder if there are any guides? Washer bottle sounds easy as I have dewipered the rear I suppose if i am thinking of putting an abf or afh lump in there next year this would probably make things easier?
That's one shiny engine bay. I might do mine now
How did you go about cleaning it?
I used wd40 for all the hoses and everything that is black plastic, degreased all the metal surfaces and then cleaned with wd40 also
I sanded my exhaust manifold to get all the rust off
And I did my rocker cover a long time ago, with metal polish and cutting compound
Hope this helps bud
So Here Is What I Have Been Doing
Seeming as my car is off the road, I have been making use of my time and putting some effort into polishing my wheels, Firtst one is done and here it is. a little taster
Sorry about the poor lighting Few odd scratches need a little touch up
