Then decided the engine would be the next to come out-

First took the head off, the engine was getting scrapped so it really didn't bother me, couldn't get at the bolts to undo the down pipe so got frustrated and just cut it off-



Then I managed to drop the engine out through the bottom as I was doing it on my own, dropped it onto a trolley and rolled straight out, but as it would I managed to round a drive shaft bolt so couldn't get one side off-



Split the engine from the gearbox as I had someone from here coming to pick it up, can't remember who sorry, then had to think about how I could remove the bolt, decided to cut down through with a angle grinder and try a flat head impact driver to remove it, worker a treat-





Engine bay with engine out -



Then managed to strip the rear lights, loom and other bits of the back, the tailgate came of a long time ago and got stored under my bed for safety-



At this stage I realised the garage had started to fill up-

Continued to strip the bay, first the steering rack-



Then Break servo and any remaning brackets and pieces-




Moved onto stripping the interior-






Junk (Top) Bottom i think i need -



I decided to take the windscreen out, started of fine, then i slipped with the screwdriver -

Went out around work today to take a few snaps of the Jetta as i haven't had a chance as yet, didn't come out to badly considering i haven't cleaned it -

I like that coupe.

Managed to get a bit more work done a few weeks ago, as well as driving the jetta round like a loony :angel:

Started to strip the rear axle and fuel tank out-


Axle Out-


Tank Out-


I also decided to make up some sort of spit at work so i could put it on its side to start stripping the under seal, joy of joys-
