Instrument cluster

i had this crazy idea 4 or 5 month ago, to put electronics into an old instrument cluster...
So we'll see what comes out of it

Accelerator pedal

I was not happy with the previous version so i had to do it all over again

Downpipe

just cutting

Fuel level sender

Checking the fuel level sender



removing the old exhaust

Wires...

Engine bay wiering is 90% ready

Front coil in

Can't lower the car more than that, or the springs will be able to get out of the shocks if i do a crazy jump...

Coilovers

I bought used KW Coilovers, i just hope the car wil get the right ride hight or i will have to sell them and find another solution!

I'm having a hard time dismantling the coilovers nuts, i had to make a custom wrench because i didn't have the original one and it wouldn't be strong enought anyway.



And a little bit of cleaning

Clutch pedal mod

Cable clutch

Maybe from a 1.3 gasser

a bit longer than the 1.6idi cable

and with all we need to make it fit to the cable clutch adaptor

shifter

02A Shifter adaptor plate for A1 chassis

Shaft 0.2

After all tdi left shaft is smaller than stock mk1

Outer CV Joint

TDI mk3 VS IDI mk1






Big balls




mk1


tomorrow we will be taking care of the inner cv joint

Shaft 0.1

tdi shaft vs mk1 shaft

Suspension

One of my springs was cut and a didn't feel any difference driving or ride height.
changed the mk3 spring for the mk1 cut and now the car has 11.5cm from tyre do metal.

mk1 vs mk1 cut vs mk3



shocks: mk1 vs mk3


inner cv joint and the left transmission are a direct fit.
I will try tomorrow the right side.

Wires 1.1

Already in the rabbit

Wires 0.2

Clean donor

What was removed today

fusebox

Wires 1.0

windshield wipers motor

some engine wires

TDI IN

i used everything from the mk3 but the control arm and suspension top mounts.
i had to drill a new hole on the arm to fit the mk3 ball joint on the end of the mk1 arm.

280mm vs stock rabbit

power steering mk3 / ibiza 6k

engine IN

Engine mount

Gearbox 02A mount

Studying shifters

Mk1 VS Mk3 steering rack

Inner CV joints do not fit mk1 shafts even without the washers on the inside.
The transmission has to be modifyed to fit the cv joint.
24mm vs 28mm lenght/90mm vs 100mm de diameter

Can't use mk1 shocks because the fixing is 20mm wide and i need 26mm for the mk3 steering knuckles (280mm brakes)

mk3 blistein shocks

280mm brakes (G60/VR6/GTTDI)
