Hardest part I ha was the cables, they're mega tight (I have gsf rocco cables)
Had to kinda bodge em last time with threaded sleeves to get them to fit. But with interior out I had good acces with mole grips etc to get them rightmore than happy with my progress on it upto now as I've been in my unit 1 month and also knocked 2 spits up for others aswell as doing my car

Did you leave the engine in when you had it on the spit?

No mate. Not only the added weight whilst Turing it (heavier than you expect)
I wouldn't trust the fluids staying seperate in the engine whilst spinning it.
Can make
You a spit if you like though

I didn't think you would have! I am steeling myself (geddit) ready for making my own, but have to practice a bit of welding first. I'm thinking of using some 4x4 timber posts to make the inverted "T" and only use steel for the crossbar and arms.
I still have to remove the engine and running gear - interior, doors and windows have already gone…

Laste few days I've renewed the current engine wiring as it was full of cracks and splits, and ordered some treats, last night consisted of this
Megajolt wiring, runs an edis module from an old ford and basically gets signals from a throttle position and a crank sensor. Once you get to terms its quite simple to get the wiring sussed

I seriously wouldn't class it as skills mate, everything I've done or learnt has been on this car! Got plenty of time to learn more on the series 1, and the fact I'm only 24 gives me plenty of time to learn lol

Not much here
can't really picture wiring and that lol but had a small tucking session in the bay and been messing with odds and sods, amount of wiring I've put right is rediculous!
Tuck ready for wrapping![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
And how the bay is at the min
getting messier!
Waiting for a spacer for the crank pulley so my trigger wheel can sit nicely then I can run her up and tweak bits, also got some wheels coming this week I got for a bargain!

Ah I see it's a deliberate tease. Ok no worries mate. Good luck with the fitting.
Plusgas helps with the seizing issue. Spray a few times a day a few days before you intend to tackle the job
