to be fair, we're not at the house; we have rooms in the hotel our mate is the manager of and are resting up from a rather tasty lunch before heading out for the evening

Back down there this morning.

Have now stripped both engines down of all ancillary parts so just have assembled block and heads. Parts being cleaned in the wash tank at work tomorrow, i'll also order gaskets and bolts etc up so it can be built back up. Also removed the sump on my 1.8T so I can clean and maybe plate it, we shall see.

Looking after you still you know.......

Came up really well.

Does look fresh! What colour's it going to be?

That colour.

Not much point in glass beading it and then painting it. Just a bit of laquer should do it.

I love the look of that clutch....Autopornography.

Shame its now tucked away inside a six speed gearbox.

very nice, not had a call from the powder coaters yet might have to give them a call

off to the ceramic coaters this week
