little bit of an update, engines ready to go back in bolted most of bits back on. Just need to get a hoist now:




so hopefully should be back in by weekend, may even just try doin it with a jack and a few mates.

On another note got offered a vr6 highline last night for £200 which im really considering only prob is its down in brighton and i think its been stood a while, and also had someone knock on my door offering me a 8v gti for £150 apparently only thing wrong is back shocks are knackered so may take a look at that aswell.  :smiley:

Top marks on getting that engine looking so presentable. Anyone who hadn't read this would think it's just been fully reconditioned.
