Im amazed your engine is holding up like a champ esp with that much hp & milage. Glad your doing a build! If u can find a spare engine & luck out like i did it may make your build more convenient weather or not u DIY. rebuilding your cylinder head?

The car has been well taken care of all of its life, so I'm sure that has something to do with how solid the setup is. Thanks! :thumbsup:

I've got an FSI bottom end with 17k on it, and a spare cylinder head. So I can slowly build an engine before next spring.

love the new exhaust, the angled always gets me

Thanks!

Just added the Dieselgeek Sigma 6 and a TWM shift knob. I love driving the car even more now. :biggrin:

Nice! It's hard to explain the joy of having a heavy shift knob!

So much function in one thread


Tapatalk because bored.

All about it! :thumbsup:

Got a little work done on my battery relocation project today. Made the tray; now I just have to make the uprights and the hold down bracket for the top. Might even get fancy and fabricate an aluminum cover for it too. Tray is made from 5/8" thick aluminum jig plate. Going to drill the mounting holes when I go to install it into the car.
