So, I got to work on Tom's Golf, and the engine need a bit of a tune up. I got a new exhaust manifold, and installed the turbo. Because of the placement of the radiator, it was a bit difficult lining the pipe up, but in the end, I got it.
 After I got all that lined up, I threw her onto the lift to work on the exhaust, and the difficult driveline. I got the old driveshaft and LSD from the FrankenLevin, and cut down the ends of the axle, took off about 3 inches on each side. I rough fitted it and it fit really well! I polished up the ends so they weren't burred, and put it in place, put in the panhard rod (because its a live axle). I had to remove the rear seat to put the bolt through the body. Hope you don't mind Tom!  I hung the axle, and remounted the wheels. Then, I realized, that the old exhaust pipe on the body would seriously restrict the engine, so I widened the pipe, and fitted an extremely high flow titanium tip for no extra cost. This is one unique ride man!  Added 14 minutes later: Oh, right, heres the Merc I got... I already installed some bags, and some AMG Monoblock rims. Pics of those coming soon. Gotta get a decent turbo for the diesel    Added 24 minutes later: Rocking those 16 inch yo!   Air down  Air up  This post was edited by dxg1997 (2014-12-30 06:52, ago) |
