That’s it for now with the pics . So to update I had to swap brakes over to vectra brakes for 14” wheels to fit and it just escalated. I couldn’t open the bolts that hold the g60 brake adapters so I just swapped over the complete hubs after I refurbished the suspension

No Dennis I’m afraid not I haven’t been near the car in months . It’s not parked at my house unfortunately. I’m hoping to start building my other garage in the next few months and hopefully find time to get the car on the road

Like I said, I was just curious.

Building a garage takes time, but you will love it afterwards. I know I was extremely happy when mine was finished.

Our garage is filled with diesel VWs...

My KINGDOM for a garage!!!


Oh, I don't have a Kingdom.  Guess I will never get that garage. 

The one that was originally built as part of my house was converted before I bought the place.  It was small and wouldn't be worth trying to put it back the way it was.  Single, small in the original build.

I had wanted a garage for years....

I should have bought stock in car covers when I didn't have a garage.

My 79 that my wife and I basically rebuilt from the ground up and restored had to sit outside for a few years after completed. I cringed at every storm and winter....

So yeah, a garage is nice!! Except when a tree falls on it....

Thanks Dennis, I’m hoping to get  concrete base done this month then over Xmas I’ll build the walls and roof. My current garage has all my tools in it and no room for my cars. It’s more of a spray booth I’ll be building . I have to spray my cabby before summer2020

Non-turbo 1.6 injection pump, non-turbo 1.6 metal lines, 3 1.6 vacuum pumps, typical rabbit/gof/jetta turbo exhaust manifold, 6 injectors (no way to tell what they are from without pop-testing - even the bar rating on the sides will not let you know for sure), 1.6TD blow-off valve, 1.6TD downpipe, 1.6TD intake manifold.  The exhaust manifold and the downpipe (and maybe injectors) are the only useful parts for an AAZ.  Other parts are potentially useful on a 1.6/1.6TD.

Thanks Libby a very informative reply much appreciated. The parts didn’t cost me a whole lot I thought I could use them in the aaz for a bit more power.The guy said the pump was from a gtd

The pump was not from a GTD (intercooled 1.6TD sold in other markets).  It clearly has no boost enrichment.  It might have been from a 1.6ECOdiesel which is worse than a 1.6 non-turbo pump.
