Ok so now I'm jealous of the then engine conversion AND the seats!!   

[F17BAD]

Got alot done tonight on the Estate

almost stripped the 20vt Lump down to the bare block now



just the standard Rods and pistons to remove now



The last owner used sh1te oil by looks of things



spent forever removing all old oil and crud from all parts of engine components, more pics on this will follow along with pictures of all painted parts iv done today in Satin Black

its going to be a new lease of life for this 18 T lump 



removed all wiring looms and hoses from engine to be modified and also to help aid me to clean and rebuild



2.0, 8 Valver now removed form the Estate

 

Auto box on it is HUGE!!

This is making for one cool ass build! I have contemplated buying a mk3 wagon a few times as those and the cabs are the only mk3 variants I haven't owned. I'll definitely be watching this one

Good progress, remember I removed an auto box out an Audi. Took it off the lift as can move manual boxes no prob's, but auto was like it was bolted to the floor

[F17BAD]

Yea the auti box was HUGE and massivly heavy.. as was the 6 speed quattro box from the 1.8T  (make no wonder R32. S3, TT etc are so slow out the box carrying all that weight!

anyhow, more work done tonight (just got home)

Painted most parts now apart from Gearbox (that is next on list)

Satin black was the choice by the owner so thats iv done

Alternator was stripped right down and rebuilt after paint, did the centre strip silver, rest Satin black (Exact reverse of the colours used on the one in F17BAD)



Rocker cover same as F17BAD



Inlet shown here too, again Satin Black



Custom Trackslag 2.5" Downpipe  (cheers Matthew)





All nasty crud cleaned from Head



Started cleaning bay, also removed front subframe including all brakes, suspension ETC







Fitting Forged Con Rods tomorrow night..
