Well you say that now but you might change your mind on another car one day... Wish I had somewhere I could paint!

Good luck with the rest of it, look forward to seeing the rest.

I just havent got the facilities or the patience. And in-between jobs today it had to be rolled out in to the street so not ideal. But it's turned out well so it's not all bad

looks okay from the pictures and aha welcome to my world I <3 PAINT 

how are you going about wiring for the 20vt conversion

[minimat]

Well I've got a full mk4 golf as a donor so I planned on literally using the whole loom clocks and ignition for ease and cheapness. Plus it's been doing the job perfectly well on the mk4 since it left the factory. But if I decide to goemtal power later il look into changing it

What loom are you using?

Looks good.

A lot of these conversions going on at the moment, so tempting!

Keep up the good work.

Heres a good thread for reference: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=175997.0

Crazyquiff engine mounts and Qpeng ecu/loom and down pipe = 200bhp

[minimat]

Well I've looked at the crazyquiffs mounts and they don't look that hard to make, but it's all a matter of time n money as if it's gonna take a couple of days then I'm better off buying ready made (I worked in a fabricators for ten month and can still use all the equipment but I'm that busy at minute the saving wouldn't be worth it)

And the qpeng loom would be nice but I don't have a spare grand
