Now I have picked up various bit's and pieces off the forum about what is required and what's not but I might need a bit of advice as my car has a non standard engine in already!
I have everything off an 83 gti to fill in any gaps due to my current car being a small block chassis.
Will have some pics tomorrow of what I've taken on!
Anyway, the engine is from an Audi A3 and it came with a cable gearbox and shifter (will find exact model number).
Cheers

First bit of bad news though. The engine arrived damaged

The seller is apparently going to send me replacement parts next week.

Does anybody have any tips for removing the flywheel without the special 3067 that locks it in place?

Hi. Very nice looking car, love the yellow paint with the dark wheels. Hopefully you got the bad luck that comes with all mk1 golf projects out of the way at the start with the broken engine, fingers crossedgood luck with the project.
