The resto is going to be taking a different direction now. I was originally going to keep the car totally standard but I'm now going 20V T. My car doesn't have much history, I've got a pile of receipts dating back to 2001 but that's it.
I've got an AGU engine with 40K on the clock sitting there, my old DX engine has 167k on the clock, so I'm wanting something with a few less miles, plus, I want the experience of doing the conversion as it probably won't be the last time I do it.

The more that are modded the rarer and more valuble our standard cars become

I'd have your original gti box off you if you wasn't so far away.

I could always put it on a pallet for you if you want it?

I need to know the number on the bottom of the flywheel housing + if its the right box how much you would want for it?
I want to rebuild a box but with a tall 5th gear for motorway cruising.
……..Oh no I'm going down the modified route!
