VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Here are the clocks and ignition.
and the engine mount looks like it wouldn't be too bad to mount on a future chassis rail.
as will the tranny mount which will be a little lower.
Funny thing, I was looking for the engine number in the original mk1,2,3 positions and couldn't find any, but a sticker on top of the motor says AGU followed by 6 digits. So am assuming that is the engine number.
The Cut has come without an airflow meter and the top half of the air box.....if anyone knows where to get an airflow meter for this motor cheap please let me know. But I imagine it'll be a long while before it's up and running.
Some initial measurements have shown that the towers are in a fairly decent position for going under the back of the manx shell without too much fuss. I'll bring them forward a bit for a more upright position (they lean back a little in the original position) and probably inward a little.
A few things I'm keen to know is what I need to retain of the wiring to keep the ecu and motor going? for example if I remove the wiper motor will the ecu still work? Obviously I want to get rid of as much as possible.
Also there's lots of random bits to the fuel system which I'm unfamiliar with. and I'll need to know what I can turf.
The power steering pump and the a/c compressor are gone and there's lots of wires in the area which I'm not sure of thier use.
PS any one want some very average condition front audi a3 floor mats?
I'll help you rewire the sucker when your ready. You are welcome to my vr6 airbox and the K&N thats in it if you want and if you want to run a bigger cooler on it i've got a vr4 cooler tucked away at mums place.
Currently nothing happening. Have only been able to gather a few parts since uni started back, has been hectic.
But I now have some seats out of a Honda Integra,
a larger intercooler from a Mitsubishi VR4 thanks to BlackVr6ix,
also am getting my hands on a Gemini front end suspension set up for mock up only, as my final year university project will be on making the front double wishbone suspension set up for the buggy.
Have been sketching some basic chassis designs in my spare time but at the moment Uni is very busy as I've had the flu aswell.
