Went really well today  :grin: quite surprised just how much we got done tbh  :shocked: :shocked:
Brad has been the picture whore today I got a few to post up but il do it all tomorrow once its running  :wink:
Even went to the extent of re-wrapping the loom in red  :cool:
Spraying the new battery tray, various brackets, shields, nuts, bolts, my alarm box etc, etc
Things left to put in tomorrow = cable change shifter
                                               exhaust (hopefully my mid box will turn up)
                                               dash
                                               lights
                                               bumper
                                               wheels
                                               airbox

Cant wait to give it a blast  :grin: :laugh: :grin: :cool: :wink: :smiley: :laugh: :tongue: :evil:

It only took us a few days to get my S3 lump in my mk3 and running, and that was a very very involved job coz lots to change with it been a early MK3 3 plus a load of custom bits we had to make up and have made etc - this VR6 converison was ALOT easier. Bolt off bolt on stuff, hard work doing it in a day but hey ho. just off to Bens now to finish up. More pics to come and video of running :-)
