ok, today was a good day!!
backbox is off, was complete mare as it didnt want to leave the pipe it was connected to but i soon had me way :D
fitted the camber shims, so its all road worthy back there now!
the rear left does look a little inward facing at the front but im not sure if its just because of the angle the car is parked at..?
ive bought...
k&n oil filter,
valve spring compressor,
stainless cam cover bolts,
tdi back box.
gonna wait until next month to buy a head set and head bolts, hoping to get the re skimmed too, ideas on how much this costs??
cant wait to get him going again...

ok, having to put the engine back together without getting the seals done... my job has gone bad, so need the car back on the road asap...
new bolts are going on, and i have most of the bits for when i can have time to do the job...
new indicators are on and i took delivery of my powerohr pipe today fresh from fk germany!
hope to have everything back together this weekend, then new oil and and see if he starts!
fingers crossed, i do miss driving it soo much!
