The golf.. you seem as slow at fixing that as i am getting this engine fitted..

Yer course im working on it just slowly thats the bad thing about working shift work and having a mrs my 'own' time is next to nothing..

The Golf is fixed just deciding if I should put a 1.8t, 16v, or VR in it.

What's left to do to get it in?

[tech1889]

off the top of my head..

clutch bolts
gearbox bracket
clutch cable and assembly
cv joints for shafts as ones fitted are dead
coolant pipes for engine as got none
oil cooler
oil cooler gasket
dizzy
leads
plugs
odds and sods lol

 and then try and fit it all back in the bay.. so still quite a bit
