Mk1 project slow

I think the AGU has forged pistons than can take up to about 300bhp? Could be wrong though
Not sure mate I can't remember the cranks rods etc were all different to some being forged and some weaker than others.. But I think it may handle more than 300horse

I takes an age rubbing these furry bits down but I don't know any sandblasters yet.. More visible bits will get powdered eventually.. The inlet will probably get powder coated but I'm to impatient lol..
Then the Creiff Audi meet stole a well deserved Sunday and kept me clean
This was early doors but got much busier and was a quality day with 650 brake RS4 supercharged new rs4s 10 old Quattros, a good mates mint rs2, s2s everything!!

Cheers matel.. Yeah i was pretty chuffed im hard to please thou… but its grew on me a lot and there getting that thin on the ground to find these days when this project came up it was exactly what i wanted. I terms of body work etc its all been done and im not getting rust in my eyes stripping it 😄 It was lws carbon for the roof there on eBay to. Waited a long long time for it and then the forge berg build got priority but was worth the wait.Joe90k said
Looks like a decent shell, bet you were happy. Loving the MK2's also, you like a 1.8t then lol

Painted the head
So while I'm waiting on the gasket set to arrive I thought I would marry some of it up to make sure I get the bolt lengths all sorted out.
How its looking now
Timing belt to do and the gaskets and sump bolts plus a few other parts need cleaned up and painted.. Then its on to the gearbox and hopefully il get it in Pretty chuffed with how its coming on it just takes to long..

Love the rocker cover mate, looks stealthy. Wish I had done mine now in black

Il be using the engine cover most of the time if it fits. I done it black so the stainless bolts stood out a bit plus silver gets dirty lol.
I'm going to be doing the box in black to, looking forward to that as it should be a bit quicker..
