Haven't heard anything on the body work side of things for a bit so no updates on that but I've been working on the engine. Bought new cam belt, tensioner, thermostat and genuine head gasket for it, still have a long list of bits that I need for it though! Blasted and painted my sump and accumulator bracket. On the head I've been having a go at porting it, watched a few you tube vids and got out the Dremel and had ago, hopefully it won't turn out bad when its done.

Got my new genuine oil pump today and have got it fitted along with the sump. Planning on having the head porting finished by the end of this weekend so I can get it skimmed and rebuilt.
Also I bought a full set of the OEM+ polybushes from VW heritage at GTI international.

The door looked like it had been dropped on the front corner and dented it quite badly, knocked it back into shape best I could and then had to build the very edge of the corner back up with some weld. Then I moved onto the other damage, where someone had attempted to break into the car at some point and had made a mess of the door handle area and quarter window frame. I removed them the best I could, the window frame came out quite well I think but it will still need a bit of filler.
Only pics I have of the head and inlet manifold
petrol tank, striped back and painted with POR15

Productive weekend for a change
