If you dedicate all w.end then should be easily achievable. I did everything when changing the lump though. (Cambelt, clutch, crank sensor, gaskets, water pump etc etc), and had it off the road for a while. The painting of the bay did take me a while as well though tbh, but that was because I left all the loom, Brake servo, subframe etc in place, I had to be careful and mask it all, and go over it a fair few times (dark to light colour obviously). Dont see why you couldnt have it done in a day.  :smiley:

I recently done this and there is a white clip that ges intio the back of the pedal with the ball ended shaft of the servo clicking into that. Just yank it hard but will more than likely break and you will need a new one. Around £4 from the dealers part number 1H 272 1169.

Also this is my engine bay before and after....

From this....

That looks really good mate, what colour is the car? I really want to do mine white but I think it might be a bit to much white? But after seeing that I'm not sure now aha

That's for the advice about the brake servo I have now got it out did what you said I broke the clip but it's out! Aha so thank you

I will be updating this soon as I have got some more work done but I'm at work ATM so I can't post any photos :)

Thank you mate, I'm really happy with how they came out :)

Cheers

Its vw alpine white mate, only done the bay, wheel wells and floor and still got the rest of the car to paint in the coming weeks. Took me about 6 weeks just to get it like that but that was including painting the engine and everything else. Its all in my build thread in my sig.

Refitting the new servo clip is a bit fiddly. A good thing to remember that if your looking at the back of the pedal through the hole in the bulkhead for the servo there is a wee pin of metal pointing downwards, thats part of the pedal spring and needs to be positioned over the clip as if its left behind it the clip won't locate correctly and will also be left with some free play in the pedal. I went through two clips before I relised this. You will know what I mean when you get round to doing it.
