Chris it feels like ive been building it for 8 years.im hoping this year it will on the road but then i will need to work on the body work.any more updates on your motor.

I have my spare gearbox STILL away getting rebuilt, I shouldnt have said there was no hurry !! So until I get that back fitted with the whole new gear selector system, I dont want to fit my new alternator, water pump and housing and assorted bits and pieces and clean down the lower half of the engine, so the whole thing is in limbo really  :cry:

Chin up it still looks nuts anyway.you can always borrow me over the summer!

Engine looks amazing! going to be a propper weapon when its finished.

Lets hope so mate,cant wait to drive it.

tremendous build this, keep up the good work!

Not done to much on engine but will have ago the weekend to try and finish off mounts.bought a few more parts one of the are audi s3 gear knob,also audi s3 clocks,so im thinking once ive finished the engine off the end of this year i might have ago and change the dashboard to a audi s3 8p.so i will be collecting all the parts for the conversion.

Sounds good mike !! watch out for that pesky knee bar though.  I found out the hard way

Will do mate.Did you have a nice hoilday.

Well being buying more parts today manage to get holf of a forge twin air intakes for a bargin price as these are well over 350.and power gains are very good too.im tuning the engine and not even got it full working yet!.the only down side you cant fit your engine cover but found out a tts cover fits so will be looking for one of them.

Little update had some goodridge brake lines made and pressure tested today,no more rust brake pipes! Also still trying to sort out the engine i bought hope to collect it saturday fingers crossed.

 Superb build mate , are you using these stainless braided lines throughout ?

 Im going to be using a pedal box with remote internal pots hidden up behind the dash and was planning on running all these style hoses internally through the chassis and sills to keep the underside and bay clean and brake hoses safe from snagging and rips as my build will be a low rider .

Will do mate.Did you have a nice hoilday.

Yes thanks mate although the last 5 days rained hard
  Have you had your brake lines shortened yet or are you waiting for me to go up with ya ?  If your waiting on me have you got a date when you want to go ?

Well 3 mounts done now one more to go!.here a picture how it looks at the moment with the forge twin air filters on as well it looks like it will all done but there loads left to finish!.

Smart piece of engineering to fit your engine. There's a guy standing behind me  out here on the rig as I type who is a ex VAG technician who can not believe what a good job you have done and how sweet it looks
Hats off to you

Thanks mate,it feels like im getting some were now.once i finish the other mount i will be pluming the intercooler up and buying a alloy radiator.
