Your not working quick enough ross there is dust settling on top of that engine!

only joking nice progress mate should look real good once done!

Cheeky git.

Good progress as usual Ross

Cheers mate. It's slow at the moment but wedding is next weekend.

Got a fair bit to get on with whilst waiting for fabrication to be done.

Congratulations. Hope it goes really well

One wheel arch almost done. Not a 5 min job this.

All stripped and primed. Amazing the panel detail under all that crap.

Nice to see it's progressing.

Hate removing underseal with a passion, best of using a cupped, twisted wire brush on a 9inch grinder, easiest way to remove it I found after doing all my floor pans on my classic Mini with it.

Work progress is looking good though buddy keep it up.

You must be a married man by now with lots of spare time in your hands?

Posting to get updates and compliment your hard work and huge knowledge! At 250 ponies and some nice diff (LSD in plans?) it should be sweet to drive. I hope married life will not eat up too much of your time but I'd have thought that both of you being car aficionados this should be no issue .

Keep up the good work! It is a pleasure to see specialist at work.

Looking good

Just Read this From Start to Finish as I have spare block etc, I was looking to put into My Octavia VRS, But Have been thinking about doing something else. Top work! May have to pm you a few questions on this.

Keep Up the good work.

Read from start to finish nice to see something different.

Best of luck.

Little more has been done. The catch 22 of renting the unit is needing to do work up there to pay the rent, leaves little time to work on the car.

Bay ready for the build to start up.

Engine can go back in on Monday night hopefully then I'll start putting all the pieces I have collected into the bay and routing pipe work and wiring etc.

Can't get the engine up to the car? Then bring the car down to the engine.

And back up with the car.

Fantastic good progress this weekend

Great work as usual Ross, can't wait to see the finished article fella.

You make it look so easy

 

Coming along nicely.

Just sizing up the new coolers

Hmmm, I suspect you might be going for a little more power than standard there.

The standard 68bhp? Yeah just a touch.

I was thinking more than standard for the 1.8T, based on the size of the intercooler.
