didnt get any pics but it was stupidly easy, twas really easy to drill thru bent abit of coat hanger while in the hole on the old head to give me my angle when i lined it up on th eother head, first drilled a little hole, went down until it broke thru, you could feel it as it went really easy all of a sudden, then did the same with a bigger drill bit then sprayed sh!t loads of carb cleaner in there to get rid off all the metal, really easy

k, only thing to remember is that the ignition timing needs to be set to 6 degrees BTDC when you get it running, not 19 like on the old driver head.
Basically from now on you use 1.8 GTI settings/spark plugs etc :)

i just want to stress how good an idea it is to do what i just did, its SOOO much faster, even tho i have a buggered pump i couldnt help but cram as much water into it as i could and give it another quick ragg!!! love it!!!
