Will do as sone as I finish building them back up :-) Also been and picked up a new engine today with the bike carb already set up onto the engine, but first the plans are to fit my new shocks and springs, hopefully get the car into work and get the hole thing resprayed, fit the wheels. But I want to get the engine wire tooked so one I put the new engine in so it will look sweet :-D

No it's not it's still only a gt with an abd bottom end. It was pretty cheap so it save me getting all the manifold made up for mine and buying the carbs and stuff. It was in a mk1 golf and it run fine. :-) So hopefully it will in mine!

Aha! Knew you would be on here but couldn't find you in the mk2 section, my dad told me about a black polo with a boot with 10j rear wheels that was in bradwell near where I work at stretfield mill, he took a pic and it had image splits on the rear and mono wheel so I'm guessing that is your car haha why was it down at the garage? I think my dad said he spoke to you as well, that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago now
