20vtvw

did this sell??

yay!!!!! some progress,cant wait till this is back on the road ,,suppose id better get outside and get on with mine!!

they look good!! once my engine running i think il be getting a scuttle cover,,

do you have an early brake reservoir?? non ABS just one outlet for hydro clutch,, pm also sent cheers

i got a few bits sorted today ,got the mk4 shift tower fitted(was siezed up so had to strip clean and rebuild) now its very smooth and im looking farward to seeing how it feels when driving,Also fitted a spacer for the front mount and final fitted the starter motor,ive fitted it upside down so workings are underneath(dont know if it can work this way but is worth a try)??

I have found myself with a spare FBK code golf V5 gearbox that has covered only 87k. i bought this not long ago from strictly dubs for £250 and never fitted it. these are a great upgrade for vr6 engines as it has a 3.9 final drive to give a more responsive drive.. just wanting £150 back for it for a quick sale . based in harrogate ,north yorkshire, collection is best but i can put it on a pallet if you arrange collection.. thanks

im looking at doing the same thing for my 24v if anyone has any info ,, cheers

Thanks mate ,yes still working outside so dont get to work on it as much as i would like, im picking up some modded 24v exhaust manifolds that are ment to fit a vr6 down pipe ,will then weld in two lambda bosses,,fingers crossed it all fits as i dont really have £400 for ss manifold..

im sure it will b e fine sitting flat as i had a mk4 4mo and the lump looked level in that..

that does look very nice !!!

it just about cleared with the cover off but the engine sat tilted so i cut the mount down mainly to get it sitting level,i got andyout to make my loom ive just cut and extended where needed, i will be getting the rocker cover chrome powder coated and inlet mani colour coded so will have choice of running with or without cover.. also got a stubby cupra brake master cylinder supposed to give good brake pedal feel..

Engine is in!!!!! some pics of what ive been up to, new clutch fitted with all new bolts,then gearbox stripped cleaned and painted block also got the same treatment. rear engine mount had to cut down as the engine sat too high, sat on its mounts now. couple of shots with inlet and cover fitted,some before cutting 25mm out of rear mount. then tided looms up inside, behind fuse box and ran engine loom through a gromet (just needs poking through hole in bulkhead now) thats it for now ,let me know what you think...

can i collect tomorrow?please (dont know if you got my pm?)

ive booked my place on ccgb too,cant wait for this,,,.

sounds good ,would you take 150 for it? cheers

you lucky lucky man!!

its the aue lump with single coilpack gearbox will be fitted this weekend as my new bolts for flywheel and clutch arrived at vw today.gonna order a united motorsport down pipe next week so should get the engine in properly soon.. i think your still winning chris but its gonna be close!!

thanks for them mate think i will do the same ... havent updated this for a wile so will pop a couple of pics up to show where im at, i sold the audi this week so have some extra funds to get this moving a little quicker,,ive ordered a load of new bits from vw and ebay ,just waiting for them to arrive now., engine is sat in the bay,looms all run through legs and wrapped. plan now is to get it running and moted in the next few weeks then see if i can afford to get it all painted..

boot looks great !! congrats on getting wed.

well ive got it back on 4 wheels :D so roled it back and gave it a good clean ,the dbw pedal and mk4 shifter are in so now just need to refurb my brakes get them fitted and run the looms through the legs ,this will all be done next weekend and the engine will finaly come out of the shed and be built up ready for fitting, heres a few pics now the bays polished, ive also been playing with the audi dropped it just enougth, this will be for sale soon to fund a respray on the rado,
