ell after ordering a gasket set for tomorrow (£63) overnight with mls gasket. I decided to spend the day cleaning polishing and di some mild port work on the throttle body and lower inlet. I would have done more but the amount of metal to remove in other places was so minute it wasn't worth the hassle.
Here are a few pics.
Head off. Much heavier than a K-series head i'm used to, head seems much more robust too.

Need a bigger garage for sure.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f304/wnagofaster/021.jpg)
Garage was state this morning lol.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f304/wnagofaster/024.jpg)
What has impressed me is that with 113 (hard no doubt) thousand miles the pistons and bores are like new.

Overnight parts storage in my room lol.

Coilies arrived genuine anni fogs should be here for monday.
Question is do I go silly low and ruin the already ruined sills till I replace them after xmas or be sensible????
-
Coilies on today ride height is spot on what I was after. Comfort is suprising although it does get busy at high speed.
Here they are. (not a bad bit of kit for the money)

Right guys unfortunatly due to the rising cost of fuel and and setting up self employed again I need to get myself more fuel efficient.
I'm after selling the car or swapping for a mk3 TDi estate.
Price wise in it's current state (been cleaned up a lot since the rr day lol) I am looking for around £1000 considering how much the car is worth in parts.
-
As some will know the car is now staying and plans are afoot to get the car 110% perfect and hopefully some boost by the summer.
I had let the car become a little tatty over winter so today I started to bring it back to it's best.
After spending a few hours on the car I mananged to wet vac the seats and fit my newly re trimmed genuine Anni handbrake and my mirror polished rocker cover. The pics are crap but they give you an idea. They do show the suface rust on the sills which will be sotred soon as well as a general blowover the full car with a few little custom touches. They also show the shocking low the ride height is which surpringly hasn't given me too much hassle.

I also recently spent time fitting cabrio inner door handles genuine Anni fogs and indicators and some smoked hella quads with some ring xenon max bulbs I have also been sorting any screws clips and trims that weren't 110% perfect.
Next week I hope to refit the skirts a new front splitter and a standard airbox.
Anyone know where I can get this splitter?

Well guys it's all change. After taking the car for some bodywork we decided the sill were beyond fixing so the car has to go.
This decision was further bolstered by me aqquireing this at a bragain basement price.
