Got started on my racecar
She's going to need a little body work, if anyone here welds, I need a drivers side floor pan welded in. There's lots to weld to, I'm just planning on the worst. I need a cage too, and I've got 2 1.8l 8v GTI motors, one from an 83 GTI, and one from a 87 GTI. Both motors are coming with fuel injection systems, etc. Here are some starter pics. Just got it yesterday. And, a shot of the block that's going into it.

just wonderin why you're goin with the 1.8l 8v? why not the 2.0l 16v like in your other rabbit? are you gonna be using both motors to create sum sort of dual motor 4wd monster? is this a budget/grassroots build? what you using for ecu ?

The 1.8l 8v's are what are in my GTI's now. Both cars are getting 2l 16v's. The MK2 is going to be full MS 2, with a 3/4 hybrid, and the Rabbit GTI is getting a dual carb 2l 16v. Ward perfect, I don't have a mig welder, but if anyone can help me out, there's some cash, and beer. I don't ask anyone to work for free.
Oh, and sorry missed the first question. IDRC Super Street drag car, maybe do some autocross. But it's going to be built to full IDRC rules.

Here's some better pics of the floor. I've got some work to do.
Fortunatley, the passenger floor isn't bad, just needs a small patch. I've got most of the sound deadening off, man that 's heavy.
