The Project Pad

I've been collecting parts and planning for awhile now,
86 4kq
01 alh punched out to 2.0l
Upgraded rods
Arp mains, rod, head studs
Upgraded oil pump
Upgraded valve springs
Light port and polish
11 mm fuel pump
2260vk turbo
Modified 20vt intake mani
Euro tdi o1e 6speed
The lower end is at the machine shop getting bored, crank polished, rotating assembly balanced.
Since I'm waiting on the motor I'm starting body work addressing rust and modifying as I see fit

The car currently

The wheels I built for it.

Started cutting today. I'm putting mki rabbit fender flares on the car as well as 90 door handles.

That's all I have at the moment.

I've been plugging away slowly, I really hate body work. Found an old patch Panel today, body work done wrong.
There was rusty mig wire sticking thru the panel and a 1/4 of bondo on top, never sealed at all.

Yeesh can't say I haven't done worse tho I hate body work too but it looks like you're at least pretty good at it! Digging those wheels too

Thanks, I'm very happy with the wheels.

I started cleaning the head in prep for port and polish, found this.
All 4 are cracked, 1-2 are the worse I'll be pulling the valves to see if I need a head.

Yuck

I have two ALH heads. One with messed up valves and one with unknown valve damage (where the crank broke in my tdi swap). I'm sure you can find some closer but let me know. Pay shipping and they're yours.

Sucks about the head cracks, but I love those wheels! Nice looking car, and props on the bodywork. Looking forward to seeing how it looks all finished up

Pmed.

Practicing on the broken head.

Stock exhaust port

Rough gasket match lots more work to do on it.

Pass quarter almost done, some detail sanding and final coat of plastic should finish it off. Next I'm going to tackle the rear pass door handle...

Lookin' good so far - really dig the subtle touches

Thanks.
Ordered this today, hopefully it will make the rest of the panels go smoother...

Ordered oil filter relocation plate from Ina today, it will allow me to use stock motor mount location.

It arrived today, very nice piece, has oil in/out, crankcase breather as well as turbo feed and oil pressure ports and a one way valve to prevent turbo feed from draining back.


Sent from crazy town.

NICE piece!
