I'm taking the engine out with wayne in a couple of weeks.I've booked the engine hoist off him. Then the engine bay is getting cleaned. Then we're welding it and filling it to make it all smooth. I need a new bonnet and 2 new doors as well as all door cards.

There is still a bit of work to do. Oh yeah, it also need new coolant hoses.

Hi there, I was having a nose at this, on Saturday, went to Ken Rice's to see Wayne and tweak the mini wink Have a play with his tools ! oshocked

Its a shame about the fire, at least only the rear lense melted and nowt else. Nice motor, Love the Gti also with the BBS's.
