engine strip down
looks very dirty it fell off the stand and landed on a Tyre stroke of luck
head came off no probs
bores look good
piston rock a bit piston slap i hate it this is when the piston come to the end of there stroke and tilt because of wear on the piston
the only way of getting rid is a re bore but you can make it better by replacing the rings and all new bearings with i am going to do as i am sick of running them in i hate 3000rpm or less for 2000 miles not again for me
crank and piston out . now a degrease
going to take the block off for bead blasting had a lot done last week
now the nice bits that's going back on
a set of cams with followers ultimate road 700 pounds worth don't tell the wife
and some nice motor bike carbs
now its time to get the head rebuilt with a bit of polishing and flowing

also got my rear beam sorted had it blasted then painted had to get a roll bar as it is a none gti and mk2 16 rear disks
got my panels i had 2 wings and a hatch made fiber glass and a carbon fiber bonnet i love it would buy all carbon fiber if i could but with the bonnet being 500 pounds and the wings and hatch only being 260 i think i will stick with the fiber glass for now

the front is another matter the tyres are not good the rears are 45 s the front 60 s need to change .the problems i have is the front stick out perfect with out the calipers on with then on i need a spacer 20mm makes the wheel look stupid does any one no how i can sort this need a smaller caliper these are the one s i am was using
you can see on this one just catchers the top
with spacers to big .may look better when the tyres are sorted with a bit of stretch
