Hello,
I will rebuilt a 86 fc3s for my shop .

 

pics with the car when i both it and litter work at wheels.

 

the car had some paper works problem so before starting to change the factory parts i had to paint the car only for 2 days to pass the test.

 

pics after i worked approx 1 week with very low budget.

 

I will post one pic with my old engine - vw golf I 1.4 - )))))) =)))))) is being rebuild by a friend of mine from south africa


and three with actual enging that

 

going on highway

 

future plans:

new wheels
new suspension
new brake kit - big brake kit


custom body.


custom interior.


rebuild engine

 

nice car, turboII brakes are pretty good, not really something you should waste money on unless you track the car.

 

WHY is the vw I-4 in an FC??

 

I fix

 

I like how rebuilding the motor is the last thing your going to do

 

I will replace the brakes as a last upgrade to my car.this is what i have in mind.14'' front with 8 pistons and 13'' rear 6 with pistons.

 

)
i both the car from a very stupid lady .....very very stupid one .
She replaced the old 13bt with this vw golf I from 1978 and to make it worst she replaced the carburetor with a smaller one to lower the gas consumption.

 

I know you are right ,I'm thinking the same but once a year in our country is the largest car show on 1st April and want to be ready for it.i will put my accent to body and after that on engine and interior. for 1st may 2008 at the second tuning show around here.i can't do a little bit of everything and get a bad reputation..first the body with this steps:
body
wheels (see pics) will order in 2 weeks ; tire also
brakes (see pics) already on way to me with brake rotors ,pads and brake lines
suspension(here i don't make my mind what to do) air suspension or tein ss.
exhaust ---will make a very special exhaust system with cut out .
PROTHANE TOTAL KIT BUSHINGS SWAY BAR ---already on way

thats it for now.

poor fc. the engine bay looks terrible, get that thing outta there soon!

 

already removed and throwed away.

 

uh, coilovers all the way.
**** airride, unless it never gets driven and is 100% show.

peace

 

this is the thing.I find a airride set with replace only the spring and i can use a tein ss spring with edfc.whay do you say?so I can lower and rise my car and control the damping force.

 

Very interesting how the previous owner had an I4 put in there.

 

Seriously, that big brake kit is a waste of money. get nicer discs, rebuild kit for stock calipers, and new pads. DONE!

Amazing how much difference in taste there is between America and Romania.

 

ok,
Now I made my mind .Tein ss is the winner.Tomorrow I will order with edfc.
in the next week I will cut the lower prt of my door.
I remember a pic of that but never find it.
cam somebody help me?

 

i just both a lim uim with tb and greedy elbow ,now i have to find a intercooler for a v mount.
