Project 504...**Its staying **

After a brief strip down then house move which meant the car had to be rebuilt, I've managed to get moving again that I?ve settled into the new house.

Unfortunately I?ve only got a single garage now, but can?t have everything.

So today managed to get the engine out and the new block up onto an Engine Stand to be re-con'd.

I?ve also updated the website with the new pics www.mk1golf.co.uk

I know where your coming from with the rebuild when moving, I moved twice in one year and had to rebuild mine both time to make it easier to move.

Yours is looking good, are the wheels 17's

A big mate of mine owns a Valeting and car wash centre and he came up today with some engine degreaser.

He foned and said "this stuff is the daddy, wait will you see it work" and he wasn?t joking. Honestly if I didn?t have such big plans for the car I would bother painting the engine bay, it did such a good job. Quick spray and leave for 5 mins, then rinse it off job done.





We also did the New 2.0 16V engine  :lol:
