i want one mate, seriously thinking of investing the vr next year!
but then again i may just rent a garage workshop out, like the one they showed on 5h gear to do it, who knows, lol!
cant get the clutch till monday now anyway:(
unless ya wanna donate an engine crane dh...

You can rent some space with an engine crane in a draughty barn for some hours if you want. 

Small issue - it's on the Isle of Wight.

lol, well cheers for the offer dh mate, but one i managed it (yay) and 2 it still struggle with a 50 mile round trip so im sure it would get anywhere near the isle of white
plus, i thought you stand at the dock and blow up every mk3 coming onto the island
cheers for the help though! did appreciate it!
