Went to pick this up yesterday
![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
Quick question to begin with - I'm not a huge fan of where the ECU is at the moment (picture included) and the lack of any kind of rain protecting for it! Was hoping to re-fit a full scuttle tray cover; are these available anywhere? Or, happy to hear any other advice about it!

I take it that getting an OEM one is out of the question? And yeah, I actually drove the car back through pretty heavy rain and it was ok, but I wasn't keen on it! Definitely want to get it covered up somehow.

Did you get any contact between your driveshafts and chassis at all running that low or has it been notched to clear them?

Haven't noticed any scraping of the driveshafts, no, but only had the car a week.
Now that it's off the road though I'll be able to have a much better poke around

Odd thing is the kit said on the website that the steel section was NOT sealed to the aluminium sump before delivery…but looking at the sealant squeezing out, it certainly looks pre-sealed to me…

Just a heads up for anyone who cares / wants to do this themselves at some point. Changing the mk3 motor to a USA mk3 cabrio motor (1HM 955 023 C) does work from a mk1 SWG motor.
Just got it up and running in my 1983 3 door. The backplate of the mk1 motor does require modification to get it to fit the mk3 motor (holes drilling out bigger, extra holes drilled, edges taken back for clearance etc) but it did fit

But, bought myself some lovveeelly porsche tombstones with 3-point belts for the fonts to replace the rs2000 recaros in there now. Can't wait to get them in the car!

Indeed, the recaros + seatbelts will be up for grabs once I get the tombstones all fitted. I'll be making a separate post in the classifieds section / ebay etc so keep and eye out

Took the bolt-in cage out (which involved literally hacksawing by hand through two of the bolts…lol), bit of internal wiring (lots more to do), sorted the seatbelts, fitted the porsche tombstaones (photos later) and fitted the new wheels!! All in all, a good day.
Car is still an absolute animal to drive, spins its wheels in everything through 3rd…utter animal!
