underneath the underseal/sound deading wasnt a pretty sight  materials turned up to make my spit  Engine out   revealed more terrible wiring...  Got the brackets tacked up.  Went over to my mates factory (mtc exhausts) to get it welded together  Under the arches are like new    The bay before  After a little scrub   Getting a feel for my new ride! Haha  slowly removing the cheap underseal, a few repairs found but all solid   found another previous repair  replacement parts arrived....  parts turning up (window seals that take the chrome trim)  more goodies turning up...  Also got all the unwanted brackets off. Next I just needed to get the battery tray out. Couldn't quite get it with the spot weld drill  more to come.... |

Front panel is now welded on as well  More parts   started work on the inside. before.  after  More goodies  Wing nearly back to metal because of the dodgy spray paint  curse word pics but I have cut out the lip on the front wings.

Awesome stuff. You dropping the old lump back in? Can't help but think that the 1.4 three-pot PD lump from the Arosa/Lupo/Polo/Ibiza/A2 et cetera would be great in a mk1 *n |
