Well after a lengthy break I've re-started work on my golf project, nearly ready for the engine to go in.

Great thread, love the resto and great to see the detail.
I do agree with Yomp though on the stainless bolts for suspension, brakes and axle.

I will replace with correct bolts before it gets on the road.
Hopefully will get the engine and gearbox in at the weekend.

I see you have an 4,2,1 manifold, I found it was a great upgrade on my car as it freed up the top end of the rev range compared to the toilet bowl manifold fitted as standard.
I did wrap both my manifold and the rubber steering UJ as you will notice how close they are.
Are you going to wrap the exhaust or at the very least the steering UJ as they can catch fire if get to hot…
I used a plumbers soldering Matt and a couple of stainless steel cable ties to wrap my UJ.
