1991 VW Golf GTD intercooler
« on: May 20, 2018, 02:43:00 pm »
Hi guys, i'm new on vwdiesel.net but i've been into vw's for about 10 years now.

My first car was a golf mk2 GTI, i've had it for about 10 years now and fully restored it. Secondly I've bought a mk2 GTD, as a daily.

Bought in august 2013, I was working at a VW dealership at the time:


Gradually I started fixing it up as a low cost project; fixing the fog lights, giving it a polish, lot's of touch up paint, new interior, restored the heaterbox, bought wheels, lowering, painted the roof and hood etc etc, she was looking good and OEM:


it then got stolen... :o

However through sheer luck the cops found it 2 days later, damaged and abused, partly disassembled...


this is part of the roof that got painted 2 week before:


I then found some sebring wheels, which I had sandblasted and painted myself:


Radio got stolen so found this as a replacement, looks pretty period correct. And yes, boostgauge...


Hood got scratched aswell and got repainted, so picture of the engine:


It was looking pretty decent now:

Found a perfect GTI windscreen so replaced my scratched one:






at this point the headgasket failed (340 000km).

So a donor car(low mileage, OE replacement engine at 100k) was bought for the AAZ swap:


the engine was taken out of the Seat


and a new project was started...

The rear beam was still a stock one, drums and no anti roll bar...So decided to build a G60 one:

sandblasted and powdercoated:






new everything:


the spec:
-G60 axle
-girling 38 calipers
-G60/gti rear discs + OE brakepads
-brandnew everything, hardware, brakelines,...the whole lot.

OEM new grille:


New wheels, axle installed:




So as you might have noticed the car was without licenseplates on the last pictures...I stopped driving it about 3 years ago, I bought another VW to drive daily. Yes this was my daily for about 2 years.

So a few moths ago, I wanted to put the interior back to more or less OEM and get it back on the road...
leather G60 steering wheel, black high quality floormats, golfball shifter, OE radio.


passed technical inspection last friday after 3 years of sitting. Soon to be on the road again.
