Probably got a set of rear quarter windows with seals in the loft.
Will check next time I'm in there

I thought you were in the UK? Dry Summer!!!
On a serious note, if you're doing most of the work yourself then you can do the 20vt's cheap enough, about £1k-1500 it costs us in an old skool car depending on which car/engine used. You'll need a fair bit coded out of the ecu though for the parts that aren't fitted.

Doing it that way we used an AGU engine, AUM ECU, APU wiring loom with a custom BAM map I made and flashed over. Use the 210/225hp maf, injectors, turbo - code out the deletes and mod ESKONF….. shouldn't cost you more than a couple of hundred really for the ecu mods!

Engine I have features
Piper 286 cam
TSR A gas flowed head
Updated bearings
Works fuel pump
Malpassi fuel lines and pressure regulator Janspeed 4-1 and Jetex competition exhaust
Kwick shift
Chassis highlights
Kwik racks
Spax (not Koni as I thought) GP adjustable shocks and 2.1/4 springs with "helper" springs
Goodrich hoses all round.
Downside
"Professionally re-wired, push button start, a host of extra gauges, battery relocated" I don't have any gauges, and no idea where the batter was moved to, and no fuse box…….
In other news
I have a Mk2 loom coming from eBay £30, including all dash, and engine, and fuse box and relays. So I can upgrade to a late wiring loom. And make the current loom a bit more original. Should make conversions later on a bit easier.
Rear 3/4 windows have arrived, rear boot collected, missed out on a set of super cheap 16" Azev A's
Bargins of the week
Passenger door handle with key £1 £3 including postage.

Big purchase alert….. But missed out as I had a work commitment. Audi TT cat D rear end. Full BAM engine, 78k miles, now warning lights. Sold for £650. But there is another ending Friday so hopefully I can get that. This one is a convertible, 89k, but has lovely black leather. So that's what I am hoping. Complete TT for sub £700. I can keep what I need sell everything else cheap and walk away with a profit, and a free BAM engine.
Roll on Fridays auction…..
