Hey guys
My golf needs some serious work under the bonnet. I want to sell the car but the engine lets it down.
Got an oil leak as well which the garage reckons is from the sump pan although I think it may be from the side of the block and someone reckons it cold be from the timing belt shaft/cam shaft or something along those lines.
I just wanna make it look presentable, maybe some chrome or at least some way to make it clean and shiny. The piping and wiring i'm thinking might as well be changed or cleaned or colour coordinated.
I was messing around on Photoshop and had a play around with colouring the engine, but keep in mind this is just an idea and probably too extreme, I think a simpler more elegant solution would be best:
Is it better to work on the existing engine, or replace parts or just have a whole engine transplant? Also, I'm planning to put a second battery on the bottom left side for normal car electrics and starter and leave the right battery for ICE. This will be achieved by removing or redirecting the air inlet pipe for the air filter
Money is a constraint. The engine is 1.3 standard. Car colours are Black, Red and Chrome.
Want to get something started and get red of it as soon as I can
