Hello Rich just read all the 18 page of your post!
What a job I love it!I have question for you.I'm making a 3.2 swap into my scirocco MK1 and was asking myself about the length of the transmission axle, can you give me the size of the 2 axle you bought on eurowise?
Thank you so much
I must admit I'm not entirely sure how you effectively measure a drive shaft. Mine are designed for the 02a Corrado VR6 gearbox. I have measured them in a compressed state and have included pictures for reference. Take this with a pinch of salt though.
780mm for longest shaft and 460mm for shortest. I would reach out to the guys at retrofication as they make custom driveshafts for the conversion and may answer the question.

Your measure are good!
I use a BHE engine from a audi TT I bought in UK and a Corrado Vr6 gearbox code CHN!
I'm using epytec engine mount but they have drive shaft pretty expensive so I Tru to find a solution….
Nice work you did can't wait to see the end.

OK, can I have some details about the wiring and the stock cluster in private?

No damage to the new paint until….
I went to pull the engine crane away and one of the hoist hooks fell and dinged the chassis leg

I'm guessing the clear was put on too thick and perhaps not enough time between coats letting the clear dry for the solvents to escape.
Anyhow I've slowly sanded all the clear off, just need to give it a final go over with 600 grit wet and dry and then it will be ready for a fresh coat! A different colour this time
