Got a small update on a few things. I managed to install the engine only to realise the front arb was in the way of the prop so I ended up buying these




Now I'm equipped with these i took the engine and box out to install the arb.

Engine and box in


I managed to grab myself some r32 rears too that I've been waiting to get at the right price.

DIY de greasing


Cleaned and painted black



Also got a 42 draft oil pressure re location kit.


This is what the car looked like last weekend



I discovered another problem last week too, my oil return from the turbo was shaped wrong too restricting the driveshaft fitting so I brought an s3 one thinking this would cure it .....

Because the turbo is bigger than a ko4 it caused me this horrible kink. I have sent the pipe to be altered so hopefully it will be done this week. M

Glad to say the car is coming together now. Still got a4 pieces of paper with jobs but it's slowly getting smaller.

Here's the latest pic

The wings are custom but they're about 3" bigger either side. The tyre is a 225/40/18 on a 9j
