Did try convince him to sell all the VR parts and all his parts off his GTI and get the 24v lump but unfortunatly i was unable to get him to :grin:. he has seen first hand with my conversion just how much the money can spiral out of hand  :lipsrsealed: :laugh:

told him to turbo the VR but he wants 24valves and a more modern engine (cant argue with this)

gives us something to do anyhow, feels strange now mine is all done and have the spare time on our hands again :grin:

Ok, So I've been a bit lagging in updates since I said I was converting, been trying to get the VR running sweet before I bang it in mine and finally it is  :grin: After a bit of cleaning, a bit of painting and a new coilpack she's running sweet............................
Sounds fecking immense  :grin: :laugh: :tongue:
I've painted the engine covers (pics to follow) Had to source a new backbox (Sebring) now just need my new aux belt and a centre box before the weekend.
SO............ Thursday is the day for the tear down, Kells has got his marrigolds on the ready for his crazy OCD cleaning routine on my bay  :grin: :grin:
And hopefully will be getting some rubber for my wheels by the end of the month
