My S3 learning in the background
Also grabbed a new bit of kit to help with some of the pulley bolts...
If it's an original ecu they are locked so you can't tamper with them. I think that's why most people ditch them when they become privately owned as you can't re map them without being unlocked. I was looking into buying a set up awhile ago as I've already got some parts just need the dash...
I've not been on it for a while due to work being so busy it's taken over life & helping a friend with his mk2 build. But what I have found is that line I've cut along seems good unless you want to start taking out the spot welding in the door apature too which I might do as I've got some dents...

More welding and body panel replacing. Also some more goodies for when it finally becomes road worth. Also moving down the car towards the back i find more rust, the joys!
So the front end is about there ish, couple of little loose ends to tidy up but all...
