Projects in the making. deadline, Gathering 2015!

[retromk11]

It's that time again where I start the thread asking forum goers to post up there projects which the deadline for completion is RRG15!

so how about it, post up a few pics showing your projects, big or small that the deadline is RRG15.

I'll go first!

my mk1 undergoing a new engine swap! from a small block 1.3 8v to a small block 1.4 16V






still lots left to do, like skim the head and bolt it down along with getting it running and set up on the carbs..

My project is relatively minor to yours truth be told!

My project for RRG is this:



The issue? Many little issues to fix and not alot of time. ATM it will not even pass an MOT.

My plans include:
-Rebuild rear dampers (one of them is leaking badly)
-Reinstate interior (mostly sourced for the best part, but some parts remain to be acquired
-Redo some of the wiring (it could be better and prevent issues later on)
-Change tyres (they are old and 2 of them pretty close to the limit it not on it)
-Redo geometry
-Change some bits on the engine, including replumbing the chargecooler, changing the breather tank to a more effective one
-Enjoy it.

It is not alot but with work training and transitions time and no garage to work in (I can barely get into the car from the garage!) it will be interesting to see if I complete it .

I'm determined to be back at RRG in this



It needs:

• Suspension seeing to
• Sebring arches fitting
• Wider wheels sourcing and fitting
• Mild engine rebuild and supercharging
• Interior redoing

We'll see how much I manage to get done before the gathering... still need to find somewhere to work on it haha

I'm slimming down the fleet by one......

My target is to get the bottom half of this



Attached to the top half of this



And get whatever comes out the other end to RRG15

I reckon I'm a 1/3 in so far

[berendd]

my plan is to bring this:



but a lot of work still to be done:
-welding the floors shut
-fitting 2.8 twincam engine and box
-wiring (complete mess right now)
-LPG install

but steadily getting there

just removed the front off the limo for better access installing this small lump in it

[claymore]

Hope to have this all done and ready for the hill, but there's an awful lot to do

Should make my first ever RRG in the 'b, missed the last few years shows completely through the frustration of it not being finished, but this year is looking very promising!!

[retromk11]

[carltonx]

[MonzaPhil]

I stand a better chance of getting the limo there than you would that one!

[Davenger]

Should be there in this after a 2 year absence

Once the bodges have been undone courtesy of Dez, I might get round to lowering it and finally fitting a stereo

[MonzaPhil]

Yay. Hope it's done!

Sent from I'm not out of bed yet using proboards

Don't even get me started about my Volvo 360 but...

Hoping to have finished my ABF (2.0 16V) conversion on my 1.3 1985 mk2 Golf




Still need to take engine out again to swap to a 9" brake servo and 22mm m/c 

New inner cvs

Reassemble front end the start by stripping the rear end to replace fuel tank, inline pump, fuel lines, rear beam, brakes from drums to discs and then reassemble it all and crack on with splicing CE2 loom into CE1 fusebox so I have barely started really!

[thododd]

in absence of your 360, ill bring the GLT again this year

it needs an MOT first

[MightyMork]

I'd like to make it in this if the bumpers ever come back from the chromers. Still along way of finished
