Heres mine, not bad for 132,000 miles.

Looks fairly clean, have you painted your engine block, alternator and bracket?

[spunkymonkey]

Yeah, just plain silver. Its a bit tidier now as ive polished the inner wings  and blacked everything up.

[thai-wronghorse]

Did you paint the block in situ?

[spunkymonkey]

Yeah, as is. silver hammerite smooth. gearbox too.

Did you paint the block in situ?

That's the cleanest 8v engine bay I've ever seen!

[azzrobz]

no offence, but tbh the 8v engine is so ugly!!

  i agree, looks like half an engine with the amount of space left!

[azzrobz]

you wouldve never of thought it was a 2 litre, ive seen 1.4 fill engine bays better than that!!

Maybe vw was conning every1 an its really a 1.8 8v, well with the power it produces it makes more sense
