JMR project cars

I'm often asked about my own projects, my usual answer is "if
only I could find the time"!
Well as soon as I can here are a few waiting in the wings...
I've had this laying around a while...couple of years actually.
As can be seen it's a very early 8v Mk2 GTi, saved from a friend
in the trade who break's them. It runs quite well with a healthy
engine, has the original red/orange stripe interior, but a nasty
o'l 80's glass sunroof...I guess a roof skin may sort that at
some point. It cleans up ok-ish but needs a few scabby bits
sorting, could make an ok resto at some point with some period
mods...head work, 1900 bottom end etc...time will tell.

Continuing with the white MK2 theme...
This H-plate big bumber will be a daily driver at some point
soon hopefully. It came as a non runner...I expect the trailer
gave that away!...but a new fuel pump sorted that. Power is via
8v's on std digi injection but has had a 2ltr block fitted with
all else standard. The exterior is tidy after a fairly recent re
spray, and I've re fitted some of the interior. Engine runs well
and should make a good base for some head and cam work
experiments, and the lecky windows, P/S & factory sunroof should
make for reasonable road transport.

And just in case there isn't enough MK2 action going on...
This came along via a customer who's dad was on the move and
needed it shifting....well it would have been rude to say no
thanks. It's log booked as a rally car and has a basic roll cage
& perspex, a spare set of Leda dampers & springs in need of an
overhaul and a blank canvas courtesy of an empty engine
bay!...well actually it came with the 8v it used to run with a
ported head & GS2 cam but that wont be going back in. Long term
it will be home to some 16v development but may have the MK1
hillclimber 8v fitted short term. It's stomping ground may
include some hillclimb use but the main plan is to get out to
play in selected rounds with my VAG trophy customers...class B
at first maybe but ultimately class A...time will tell

Apart from the MK2 frenzy the good o'l MK1 hillclimber is still
sat around waiting for it's engine to be re fitted...once I re
build it!...and there's a new tow car in the shape of a Passat
TDi 130 sport estate in need of a turbo....maybe if I knock back
my 5 hours a night sleep to 3 I could get on with the above!

The white one looks good... shame about the oven door in the
roof.
