Well it’s in! I left the transfer box off as there’s no bolts Delivered yet, but I’m changing the drive shafts anyway so should’ve easy enough to get in in I hope
Just waiting on a 12 point socket so I can get the passenger drive shaft off and fit everything in that arch so that wheel

Don't forget when you put the front clip back on with the fan pack to sort the aircon pipe out else it will get cut through like mine did

That’s definitely not an issue anytime soon haha, will get the bits in the behind the wheels done and look at wiring don’t want to struggle for access I’d only end up pulling it off again but it is something that has stuck in my mind from your thread
Is it worth filling the engine with oil now and turning it over by hand every now and than ? Don’t want to cause issues with it being sat empty?

Should be fine then mate as long as all the inlet/ex ports and plug holes are covered to stop any ingress to the engine

Got to drop inlet manifold of a welders tomorrow but will tap up all the holes on the block tonight, waiting on the hoses on back order for over 3 weeks driving me made at least it will give me time to figure what god where
Picked up the sandblasted rear carriers and the manifold from the welders Got a bit of painting done, brand new rear calipers aswell just need a rub down and a 2nd coat, also the turbo has been sold just need to pick which one I’m going for now
Tried to get some new wiper arms today they’re no longer available, man it getting hard to get original
Body parts now instead of buying 2nd hand, still waiting on the order from tps from over a month ago so have cancelled it and have to look elsewhere

Semi productive day managed to get the transfer box fitted and thought I’d clear out the car and make a start on the andmac sub and battery relocation only had a few hours spare managed to get the sub and amp fitted just need to tackle the wiring to the original connector block
Had to empty the whole car out to get some room
found all My cupholders can never have enough!
Bought another cupholder
Fitting this lot was today’s original plan but just didn’t get the time

You could always use the starter motor to cover that hole up mate

Cheers asim Found the part number on Ecs but by chance a new febi doughnut with bolts popped up on face book for £50 so have bought that
The new propshaft doughnut turned up this morning so Got that fitted, old one looked in ok condition not sure it actually needed changing but might aswell,
question for @<tuffty/> I’m getting a list of hoses I need and on the diagram the t piece of item 20 runs up to item 28 which is the dsg oil
Cooler, where does this go if we’ve not got that cooler, could I use that to
Feed the 13 row oil cooler I’ve bought at some point ? Or is using a sandwich plate better

Can't feed an aftermarket oil cooler with water dude... you plumb it in with a sandwhich plate and the air cools the oil
