Hi mate, I bought the shift boot from EBay, UK supplier. They're made in Austria, very solid construction, bolts right on.

Jimmy's VR6 build thread!

So a bit of an update!

Coilovers should be here any day now, I have however got to address some suspension issues, namely the wishbones and mounts, they're getting a tad tired. Tie rod bearing + boot has split as well, will need repairing!

Also found this when replacing the timing chains with Adam of VA garage (HIGHLY recommend him for anyone up the Coast, very professional and friendly bloke and a true enthusiast!);



Totally rooted, pretty much crumbled when we got it out. So a new pump + cooling system and a flush was done!

You'll also notice in the photo my old chains and other bits and pieces - major overhaul, everything runs beautifully now and she's reliable for another 200,000 Km's! Yew. We're getting there!
