    You mean your own car. The above vehicle has no engine in it.

    Not anymore Ed, My mk2 is no more mate! The above vehicle (mk3) has a new owner who also bought my old engine. I'll be updating this thread on the owners behalf.

    Happy 2012 people!
    Ok so here's the first real update for also 3 years. The engine was removed and dropped into a mk2 that had spun a main bearing, I'll let the pics do the talking.

    A small amount of progress has taken place, as said in the last post the engine as been removed from my mk2 and dropped into the mk3(at the wrong end it seems LOL)

    [​IMG]

    At a later date I'll post up a better pic of the belt run and break down of which pulleys I used.


    Frist time this mk3 has seen daylight in almost four years!
