berg cup polo rally car build (updatepage 5)

this car is quit awsome! when are you hoping to have it finished by?

Nice to see it being done properly this time round in the hands of a new owner....those rear arches were shocking, remember them from first time you posted.

Good luck with it and keep the updates coming - need the inspiration to get stuck into mine again.

That is going to be one bloody lovely mk2!

some progress this weekend.

made the holder for the vertical handbrake and welded it in


made the master cylinder bulkhead mod


cut bulkhead to hit the bias bedal box in


then weld it all up in place


side exit through sill same as was on blondie the pipe will be cut back to suit the beg arch when fitted




then time for underocat again








good news is the car should be in paint by next weekens and ready for the put back together stage
bad news is there wont be time to build the engine before the 1st rally so it will be running a standard afh
on bike carbs for that then a rebuild after.

a trip to gsf anf got some bits

cambelt
cambelt tensioner
cambelt idler
cv joints
cv boots
water pump
head set
thermostat housing
volvo 4 pot calipers

does the afh engine fit streight in with the original mk2 polo mounts?

thanks oli

all the engine mounts work but drivers side the engine only has room for two bots so a bracket on the mount down to a bolt further down is all it needs most people woudnt bother with that. the hammer was ther just as a rough guide.

the rear breraks are golf gti mk2. when I rallied my old polo rally car i found the rear breaks owfull for handbrake action even when converted to hydraulic handbrake so this is the main reason for the discs. and it has a bias pedal box so we can set them up.

hope that helps.

white topcoat in engine bay, underneath ,inside and under the arches done.
Ubder coat on outside ready for blue top coat 2moro.












exhaust exit section merge with arch



j.p they are fibreglass arches
