fucking factory recalls for cheese bearings, they said they had never heard of a mk1 polo before and recommended that i take it to the netherlands and get some upgraded edam bearings.

spotted a lonely looking GT lying in the corner of the unit so off out with the engine which is now sitting in the crashbots engine bay.

muchos appriciation to giorgio and char for thier help getting it in, fingers crossed we may have it running for the end of the weekend smile.gif

also managed to swap the early rear bumper for a brand new chrome late bumper and i know a friend who has a nos rear trim and end caps which i shall be having woop

Few pictures of the work in progress, didnt bother taking any pics of the events of cubing a mk3 polo gt, or any of the stripping or engine swaps mainly because we were earlier using the phone as a light, covered in muck or battery was dead!
