Right well progress is being made.. finally.. i have primed the bay and given it a couple of coats of VW diamond black.. the finish is shocking but this is only going to be a temporary measure till i can get it on the road save a bit of money and pay a bodyshop to do it all properly.. I need to get some more black so that i get a good colour even if the finish is sh!t.. the only reason the finish is bad is i havent had time to prep the bay properly and im very impatient with rattle cans  :grin: :grin:

I have also given the subframe 2 coats of black hammerite it also looks bad but its only to serve a purpose as just dont have the time/money to spend getting it blasted and powdercoated for very little gain over than looks and OEM'ness..

Heres some pics its coming along nicely and im trying to find as much time as possible between work and such..

As some of you may know im going to be running a cable clutch as cant be arsed with all the hydraulic stuff.. Here is info from Neo Badness for cable clutch i need to buy all these parts..

- Quote Neo Badness -

SEAT (?) Part no 02B 141 708A bearing bracket £44.62,

Passat syncro part number is 02A 141 708B £33.47.

You will need the actuator (the rubber boot is separate mind) with both bolts,the cable holding bracket from the gearbox to the gearbox mount,then the cable (yes a toledo 16v cable is right)

It will cost "about" £145.00 all in.

The actuator is about £40.00
the bracket about £45.00
The cable about £43.00
plus the rubber boot and the bolts to fit it all

I got all this info from
