Update. Some pics of some of the holes welded up and a start on smoothing the drivers side.
This is not the finished prep work just the start.

Very cool

Engines ready to go in but still no car. I hate waiting for people they always hold you up

Sorry for the crap phone pics but I'm at the point of just wanting the car back and on the road.











How the car looked on Saturday







Hoping to have the car back on Saturday but lets see what happens.

Bit more of an update. Sorry for the crap quality pics. Car should be coming home tomorrow so ill get the good camera out.

In other news I got the car back Saturday evening.
Needed to fit the flywheel and clutch so quickly knocked up this little bad boy to stop the flywheel rotating



Then quickly bolted the gearbox on and whacked the engine in





Better pic to follow next week as I was in a rush to get engine in and didn't get many pics.

Some more pics I took with a better camera but in a rush so not the best. Oh well you get the idea.

Thanks man. Really has taken a long while to get to this point and couldn't have done it without the garage space.
I'm so excited to know that i'll be back behind the wheel soon

Looking very tasty.

Thanks for taking the time to update the thread as you go, I know that I'd want to keep a record but get carried away and forget until its mostly done...

[VWindahouse]

Outstanding mate!

I do my best keeping it up to date but i always work alone so end up flying ahead and then realise i have left the good camera at home so end up using my phone or not at all.

Outstanding mate!

Thanks mate. Yours is coming along very nicely. Enjoying that extra power?

[9n3 Turbo]

Thanks god it's Friday. All I have wanted to do all week is get in the garage and carry on getting the car back together.

Decided to paint the boost pipes and turbo intake pipe black. Probably not the best colour due to heat but this is no race car.

Going to collect them tonight.

More pics to follow after this weekends work but here are some to start the weekend off.

You must be enjoying the warmer weather a little more , its starting to get cold here, there is nothing worse than being stuck under a carport in the rain/cold all day

Loving the inlet pipes, maybe i should look at getting something like this made, i guess it pays to know someone as custom fabrication can get expensive

Cheers mate, yes enjoying it immensely!

It's funny how quickly you get used to it though. I have a new plan to remedy that
