Title: New to site...1.4 to 1.8t conversion in progress
Post by: faisal_16 on 13 August 2010, 15:41

Hello all,

I have just signed up and am a regular on uk-mkivs. I've had my car for 5 and a half years now and started out as a 1.4e. I've slowly been working on it and I'm currently having a 1.8t fitted.

Here are a few pics of my car

Upon starting the 1.8t for the first time, we found there is damage to the head and I'll need to replace it. If anyone has an AGU head lying around, could you please contact me? Condition isn't a major concern as I'll be having it rebuilt.

Anyway, enough from me....I'm off to have a look around!

Cheers,

Faisal
