Re: My new project - 106 GTI
Sorry another dull update from me...
I started prepping the car to start painting it and cutter the final brackets out of the car. I had planned on drilling the welds out but the metal is so thin that when we pulled away it tried taking the rest of car with it.
Just some of the brackets I cut out, which the old rear bench used to bolt to.
Before -
After - I did clean them up after the taking photo.
I also removed the old heater matrix which is being replaced by the one pictured above. Its quite amazing how much it weighed and how much room it took up behind the dash.
I then set to masking a few bits up and started painting the floor. I am happy with the results I applied around 2 coats before running out of paint. Halfords will hopefully be back in stock on Thursday which should allow me to finish the boot floor.
Its Finally looking red again -
While waiting for the paint to dry I set on removing the brake servo so I could get access to the bulkhead to install the new brake and fuel lines. I also removed the bonnet as it was doing my head in and also the front slam panel so I could get it painted up. I removed the radiator so I can get the manifold out easier to heat wrap and also cut out the old support which the radiator sits on and weld a new one in which isn't bent up and also fit a bracket for the oil cooler.
While it was in bits I also got the wing off ready for underseal and got shot of the charcoal canister.
This is for when it all goes wrong after all this work, the guys keeping my spirits high clearly - I thought it was being put up for the ginger one!
So Saturday morning, I started fitting the rear breaklines as I couldn't contiue painting the rear of the car or fit the in car brake lines because I forgot to order the bulkhead connectors ... Doh! I opted for copper brake lines purely because of cost at this stage and I quite enjoyed learning to fit copper lines.
The rear brake lines -
After getting the hang of making them up, I popped the servo and master cylinder back in place, got adventurous and started the fronts -
Feeling rather happy I then started on making up a bracket for the new heater which arrived on Friday
I modified the old airbag ecu bracket which worked perfectly.
The heater in its new home..
I made up a new panel that the ducting fits in to and puts the air in to the correct parts of the dashboard. The only issue was the ducting was about 100mm to short.
Hopefully the fuel lines arrive tomorrow, Once fitted I can then start piecing the inside back together. I also need to give the roll cage a new lick of black paint as its looking rather tatty.

Cracking choice on the satchshift.
I miss my GTI. Would be perfect in the garage to tinker with.

Re: My new project - 106 GTI
I am hoping I don't regret it lol! I can't wait to fit it, there is no dashboard currently in the way at the minute so it shouldn't be to bad and the car is currently up on stands with the engine loom pulled out so I can get behind the engine. Only pain in the a**e will be removing the exhaust to get to the linkage.
I need to see more photos of your car, I am right in thinking you have full interior though?

You have been busy Matt and you're making good progress. Sam's (MrN) car is fully stripped out.

Re: My new project - 106 GTI
I am getting there mate, it should start going back together in the next week or so I hope. Getting the final parts for the braided brake lines for under the bonnet tonight which will finish that jigsaw and then they can all be bled back up. I should get the satchshift in at the weekend, then its just a case of wiring up the dash, making a new panel for the centre and the cage can go back in and that's the inside pretty much finished.
I hope you are enjoying vtec :race:

Re: My new project - 106 GTI
Well I got pretty much a whole day on the car today got the satchshift fitted finally which after many many swear words, cups of tea I got it fitted.. First of all I had to remove the old linkage.
Out with the old in with the new..
By this point Fletcher had arrived for a catchup and to see the car.. he even helped a little!! I didn't take many photos of the fitting process as I was rather vocal about it and it involved me swearing at it, hitting it and by 4pm this afternoon the car was getting scrapped lol! But I persuaded myself not to and plodded on after a sit down and a cup of tea.
This is finally the new kit fitted.. excuse the wiring thats next!
The linkage ..
After I got it fitted I had to modify the dashboard to fit around the top bar.. so instead of just making hole or cutting small bit out of the bottom I got rid of the ashtray. I think the dash looks so much better without.
Dashboard in place..
Excuse the glove I didn't want to get the white bit dirty and oily.
No ash tray..
Over the past few days I have also sorted the fuel lines and brake lines out.. I have now changed the ones going form the master cylinder to braided line.

Re: My new project - 106 GTI
Another update..
I got a few bits done Sunday, I started making the new centre dash panel which I am going to get powder coated once all the wholes are drilled in the right places.
dash panel in place.. I just need to get the switches fitted.
I also got some paint on the roll cage before the rain arrived, just gave it a quick blast with Matt black to cover some of the scratches, its going to mainly be covered in cage padding so it doesn't need to be perfect.
While the car was in bits I ideally wanted to pull the engine out and paint the engine bay but I simply don't see the point in pulling it out to do that. I will wait until it has to come out.
I decided to get the bulk of the dirt and grime out of the engine bay so I covered in degreaser and started scrubbing. Its by no means spotless and never will be lol.
before -
After -
After doing the spring cleaning.. I finished painting the inside of the car and then called it a day.
I now need to start putting the car back together, but first pull all the windows out to fit the full perspex kit.. I am slowly working my way through the list. I also bought a new set rear adjustable shocks today .. my poor bank account has been through hell this month with the car. I can't wait to get it back together and get a test day booked

Re: My new project - 106 GTI
Lots of progress made over the past few days...
remounted the heater in to the dash and got it piped up.
I cut a new dash panel to replace the glovebox and also got the bits fitted to the centre dash panel.
I then got the cage fitted, which went in very easily thank god..
Once fitted I finished painting up the dash panels and got the rest of the dash fitted along with the roll cage padding. The car is finally starting to look like a car again.
Few more bits to finish up inside next week and then I can move on putting the outside of the car back together
