took it round to my garage and swapped the wheels and suspension over from my jetta inc. the bonrath top mounts. Discovered the suspension we were removing was spax -40s so bit of a bonus,got replaced by chassis dynamics -50s and boge turbo gas shocks

cheers fleming,i like it too but i prefer it when its running,its currently getting a heart and lungs transplant which is proving problematic,going for the worlds longest 16v transplant lol.
took the opportunity of the engine being out to give it a good paint,started off(like most things)as just a little clean

used a hammer and screwdriver all over the block to de-scale it
