Been routing intercooler lines, hard one done it goes through the core support through the inner fender to the pump mounted on inner fender hard one done
You will see also where I mounted my fan control relay the hose has a slight kink don't think it will hurt anything

Looking good! Lets see those new wheels on there!!

vw_nut · Sep 7, 2015

I have a lot of work with those wheels, disassemble, clean, paint new lips reinstall, i plan on getting both front and rear crossbrace for the truck

vw_nut · Sep 8, 2015

Took the vacume pump out and took a drill and spun the oil pump and got oil pressure to the Guage spun it for about 30 sec making sure oil is everywhere charging the battery might fire it later, in the mean time I'm taking wheels apart getting prep for paint, ordered my new lips for the wheels today may see them Friday

vw_nut · Sep 12, 2015

I got one wheel painted today working on polishing the lip, a glimpse of what it will look like ,I'm gonna leave the center polished leave the black ring but I'll paint the outer brown

vw_nut · Sep 12, 2015

Thanks deejaaa, i was just gonna give it a little more pep,now it's well if you'd this you have too this and it goes on and on

vw_nut · Sep 13, 2015

Well I got home from work tonight, went to prime the pump with the vacume pump I got fuel to the pump that I had purchased that was supposed to have been resealed but I have fuel coming out from the back of the pump underneath, so the pump will have to come off, just one more thing

oldpoopie · Sep 13, 2015

That sucks dude.

vw_nut · Sep 14, 2015

Yeah cause if it was not done right he could have lost that washer in front of the cam plate so I'm just gonna pull it i have another 11mm pumpI'

vw_nut · Sep 14, 2015

Well tonight I decided to try my luck and see if my hunch was right and yep this guy did what I thought, I changed out the oring and I'll finish it hopefully tomorrow

oldpoopie · Sep 14, 2015

Oh good easy fix

vw_nut · Sep 14, 2015

I hope it's just that, today I got my new lips in for my wheels, suppose to get my intercooler water lines Ed but they shipped them to another town by mistake so maybe tomorrow

vw_nut · Sep 24, 2015

After a few issues, 1. A few of the wires I changed over for the 11mm pump weren't pushed in all the way, which through codes 2. I had a hard time priming the pump, finally gravity fed from a small tank worked great, primed and took off

Nice to see it running!

vw_nut · Sep 27, 2015

Been a long time coming SC, i wanna drive it but no wheels, brakes or rear beam

vw_nut · Oct 8, 2015

Finally I got all my parts for the water side of my intercooler, I'm currently working on the rear beam have to rebuild the axle making it narrower

sccaddy · Oct 8, 2015

Looking very clean. Shiny.

vw_nut · Oct 9, 2015

Filled my tank with water tested all the lines for leaks everything is dry 1 thing off my list, only 200 left haha

vw_nut · Oct 9, 2015

Been working on the rear beam, i cut it in half, put a slave in the middle welded one side and made my rear beam narrower from 52" to about 48" to allow for the wheels to tuck under the fender once I get the right width I will weld the other side of the sleeve, i had to reposition the leaf spring holder and the shock mounts

vw_nut · Oct 13, 2015

I went with 2 Wilwood brake proportioning valves for the rear mk4 disc brakes, couldn't find a scirroco rear proportioning valve, I made a mount for them and there not to bad to get to to adjust them

vw_nut · Oct 20, 2015

My long and awaited brake hoses, took 3 weeks to get

vw_nut · Nov 10, 2015

I got the calipers installed in the front, because there 11" brakes the bolts on the 2 piece wheels will have go be cut off because they hit the calipers, can't get shorter ones so 60 bolts will be cut off, Saturday we will weld the rear beam up and I can put the truck on the ground and off the lift I have another car i have to put a motor in

vw_nut · Nov 21, 2015

After 13 yrs of driving wood ramps to get in my shop I finally got my approach s finished...HURRAY

vw_nut · Mar 20, 2016

Time has whittled away, buisiest winter I've had in years, my truck has just sat in the shop, last week I've been working on it, tires were an issue to find what I wanted, then I had discount tire install my tires and they did this to my rim, i had to take it apart and it's at a friend's shop getting fixed then repowder coated, then back together, you may have never saw it but the fact that they put it in my trunk and never said a word about it is what got me fired up, the mgr is paying to fix but it's a lot of time lost

oldpoopie · Mar 20, 2016

Dude that sucks

vw_nut · Mar 22, 2016

It's off to the welding shop, exhaust, rear beam, lower shock mounts, color matched bed liner, battery relocated, mostly finishing things up

vw_nut · Mar 29, 2016

Well today Matt Whitebread saved my day, he had a peliquin I stock my last piece I need, we made a lower brace for the a arms, trying to incorperate a front Mk5 exhaust brakes, waiting on rear tires to sow up to finish rear axle placement
