Ahhhh yes aha i have been busy over the last few weeks with a new job and going away on holiday and my racing has now started again but i have been doing a bit of buying and collecting of parts and have got some progress ill just to keep it short aha
First some bits and bobs i have got hold of 

g60 8v flywheel



MK3 cable change unit



Sprayed a front engine mount



Mk3 TDI 1.9 70k Gearbox
Not got very good pictures but you get the idea 


And as for progress i cant really remember where i got up to but this progress has made it more worth while here are a few shots for you all 







Hope you enjoy guys hopefully more updates will be coming quicker let me know what you think 

[Ferdinor]

Hey guys long time since i have been on but thought it might be time for an update 

So now i had got some parts together i thought it was time to tidy up the bay, first problem i came across was a rusty hole so heres a few pics of the hole and how it looks now 




Started to weld the patches in, had to do 4 in the end due to the diffrent bends in the metal
Front

Back


All filled in and primed 




I have now got some filler on there but the rubbish weather has put me back i shall update soon

Looking good,

Nice work with the plating, it sure was rusty

[Ferdinor]

cheers guys we think that a battery may have gone on it at some point causing it to rust as bad as that because the rest of the car seems solid, i will post again tomorrow evening with more progress hopefully.

One question someone may know the answer to, i order what was meant to be a luk clutch but when it turned up it had valeo all over it? is valeo and luk the same company or have they sent me the wrong clutch didnt want to sound like a idiot emailing them so i thought id ask on here first?

cheers

Valeo and Luk are different companies I believe

[Ferdinor]

Hmmmm well in that case I had better email them as I order luk not Valeo :/ dam!

[Seanl]

Valeo are a decent aftermarket manufacturer anyway tbh. They are both comparable kits, but if your unsure then send it back mate. 

[Ferdinor]

Wll providing the one i got is the same as the one online then it should do the job had good feedback and got specs i think ill give it a go aha

Little update got some filler down on my repair today just putting on thin layers to build it back up but whilst i was doing it i was mocking up what is involved to do a smooth engine bay well at least the legs and towers if anyone has any advice or pictures of there that would be great?
