The arches took a battering but they will suffice.

Very happy with it, just need to pick up some Mk3 Golf arches at somepoint just to finish and hopefully protect the arch slightly, needs to be undersealed and what not really.. considering just cutting them out.
 
CG13!

Finally managed to get my hands on a 1.3, this is how it looked when i got it back home

Will be using the exhaust mani and TB that is on my CG10 as this did not come with one, but i did get the dizzy and a spare set of driveshafts just incase :)
I will also be using my CG10 flywheel and gearbox, also gonna buy a new clutch while im there as its so much easier.




Plans are just to clean it up, full service, and new belts and gaskets (bar the head gasket) still learning :D

Here are some more pictures of what ive been cleaning up:

Under the cam cover

Probably not really the cleanest but isnt to bad i suppose, dread to think what my CG10 looks like compared.



Started cleaning the cam cover after i got some decent degreaser, (will probably still get it acid dipped in all honesty but ill see how it goes)

One of the flywheel bolts was giving me a bit of grief for a while but got it off in the end :D

If anyone spots something i probably should not have painted then let me know lol

Just deciding on weather to buy a new sump now or clean out the current one and just buy a new gasket..

Hopefully when pay day comes il be able to buy a clutch and fresh gaskets and some bolts to make a start of it going in

:)
 
I had 2 sumps that appeared to have surface rust, by the time I'd sanded the rust off the sumps were pinholed :/
