The glass is worse not sure it’s possible to polish it out either.
Hopefully auto glass still does rear mk2 windows.

Yeah I did that on the first one but it was taking to long, drill had the heads off pretty fast.

Anyone who wants some semi decent cheap metal bits these are pretty good cut like butter if you drill a pilot first.

Engine out, took me longer than I care to admit to work out why it didn’t look right on the stand.

Belts issue

Someone did an awesome job on that aux belt...

That engine positioning on the stand is making my balls tighten hahaha. I can already see it in my head just snapping the top 2 bolts and going through them french doors!!

Great work so far, but lots more needed to make it mint! Thinking about changing the thread title yet?

Yeah it is probably going to turn into a project Binky type affair, doesn’t help the guy making my adjustable jig was off for two months.
