Great progress and work on the engine bay. Looking super smooth. :thumbs:I'm going through the same on mine at the moment. Much sweat and hard work so far!!

I'm currently just sanding back the engine bay and repainting at the moment. Very time consuming!!

I was tempted to go with a 20vt, but managed to get a cheap TFSI instead  :thumbs:

Top work mucker.

Dunno how I've missed this thread upto now.

I don't think your link to the original thread works but I could be wrong.

Dare I ask what the specs on the wheels are?
