Title: Richie my 1983 cabriolet
Post by: gersgolfs on October 12, 2019, 03:45:19 pm
Howdy folks, I’m new to the site and I hope you like my golfs I bought this last yearish It was originally a DX engined GTI golf , however I sold the engine and box and fitted an aaz engine . I had originally bought the Ahu engine to put in the car but I came across a 1995 golf for sale so I bought that and fitted the aaz instead . My car just off the trailer(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191012/6bc82753db59e045d689c0c56dad322d.jpg)

Its Helios blue with a hydraulic roof fitted and big bumper kit originally a 1457 jb engine automatic which was originally bronze then painted black now blue(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191012/a951202cdd887c7ce33adafa21be4097.jpg) first job was to take the interior out for a better look at the chassis which didn’t need any work, so a good base to begin with

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191012/b1dd3a9c529237005ea5755a4ab14219.jpg)the two wings had rusted a bit under the wheel arches . Luckily I had a repair panel so I cut pieces from it and welded them in . The repair panels look rusty in the pic but it’s only surface rust they’ve been in the shed for years . So I cut out the bad bits and I didn’t need to butt weld new bits in as the welds would be covered by the body kit arches anyway

I bought this kit as I have it fitted to Mario and  it’s fine in that plus I think it would be ok in the heavier cabby

Let me explain so as not to confuse you people with my two threads and double pics in them.

I wanted to fit 14” pirelli ps to Mario which had g60 brakes so minimum for g60 is 15”. Which are bolted to the hubs with adaptors , the adaptors wouldn’t budge so I just swapped the whole hubs from Mario onto the cabby . So I did a switcharoo (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191012/9e182a83f4a1eea33317e9e9a7bffb9a.jpg)

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

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....

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 (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191107/2007120ca871865786a89abc0d7935e0.jpg)

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.
