so, I painted the engine today, turned out perfect:

everything for the engine is done, so now I need to start on the golf itself:

luckily the rust isn't as bad as I thought.

got the subframe off the car, I've heard a few horrorstory on the bolts, mine were fine:

new or what? Subframe didn't put up a fight at all.

And then 2 packages arrived this morning:

witch contained following things: gaskets, lot's of gaskets, filters(fuel, air ,oil), cylindreheadbolts, waterpump...

skf waterpump:

cleaned up the suspension arms, 1 off the balljoints is completely shot.
