• Ok this is gonna be long. Mostly pics cause i don't like to type. But at the same time as i'm building the car i didn't take as many pics as i wished i would have. And when i did it was with a camera phone so quality is marginal.
  
  Bought the car in Jan 2008 like this:

• More pics of the way the car was when we arrive in kansas.
  
  Most of the wires were chewed up by animals. there was a large nest right on the valve cover and bite and scratch marks on the outside from dogs trying to get the rodents.

• On the way home got 2 cars 85 and my 86 both TD cars
  
  
  Waiting for me to fix her up!
  
  
  
  Turbo was off mine. I started with a turbo in pieces that i didn't take apart. Got a g-pop kit with the car.
  
  
  
  
  
  Put it together...But not with out modifying it!

• More turbo mods. Welded the port between the turbine exducer and wastegate, to eliminate turbulance in the exducer.  Now i must use a seperate wastegate dump pipe.
  
  
  
  
  Got it running after re shiming the valves installing a new headgasket and pull starting it cause she wouldn't light with just the starter

• Goin back in
  
  
  
  Didn't take many pictures for awhile for some reason. Must have been enjoying the new engine so much.
  
  3 days before Waterfest 15 decided to paint the roof and hood! Roof got checkers very time consuming to tape off. Didn't think it out that much before and realized after i was in to far to stop. Had a moth land in the final coat of clear and flail around releasing his moth dust and messing up a white sqaure. But other than that turned out good. Thanks go to my buddies dad joe for running the gun and use of the shop. Hood got painted black in the middle. Need to wet sand both and it'll be good enough. Wanna paint the rest of the car stock color. Some day.

• WOW! looks nice guys, where did you get that oil baffle?  Also, you sent your IP to giles or no?  I'm building a frankenengine or also known as a frankenmotor.  Inspiration is a wonderful thing, so thanks.

• I believe i ordered the headgasket and pan gasket from myke_w on here. I believe the gasket came on late MKIII2.0l and most engines after that.
  
  I did all the pump work myself. 91redjetta had a 10mm TDI pump that i used parts from.
