Cabrio GLI
next page
VAG group does not have a convertible with an engine... one has to be made.
First we need something to start from, a VW Golf Cabriolet 1,8 GLi '87.
The garage.
Some essential parts were taken from a front of a '99 Golf GTI.
The GTI had been slightly crashed in the front and had been then cut into peaces. The front was imported from Sweden to Finland. In Finland a crashed Golf like this would have been fixed.
The engine cover installed, some mounts missing.
Fitting the mounts in the Cabrio's engine room.
Cabrio's original front engine mount sets the place for the engine.
The engine and the transmission in the engine room... supported by some wooden jacks.
The original air cleaner fits well in the engine room.
The right engine mount is taken from the GTI.
