    Stop messing around on here and go and put the engine back in that gorgeous looking mk2 :thumbup:

    Time and motivation can be a problem sometimes but your motor looks so nice you can't leave till next summer [8(]

    Thanks mate
    Time frame was finished by february past which was dead handy and loads of time if I took an interest :(


    It does get a bit mad when the bloody thing starts to consume you with the everything you touch on it instead of a good build you are
    constantly thinking of ways to improve it upgrade tidy it ...build it to last forever! [:s]

    MELTED [xx(]

    Hence the two push bikes are getting the better of the golf every time I go into the garage I end up 10 mile down the road :thumbup:

    I have A lupo Sport as well :thumbup: ...........and a spare 1.8t set up :o
    Been following your Lupo build and yes we are alike :thumbup:

    Take the cover off of it and get cracking :thumbup:

    It's such a lovely build, and looks to have been done to a very high standard and well thought out, it would be a shame for it just to sit there and never get done.

    Just don't sell the car - you've done all the hard work.

    Put it under the cover until you get tempted again - but don't sell it.

    I spent 3 years restoring my first car and wanted to give-up and sell many times. It was only when it was finished that I realised what a bad idea it would have been.

    Instead of wasting all that time fixing the puncture on your bike a guy like you could have popped the engine back in lol;)

    Get on with it [:D]

    Engine bay Wiring needs to go in for servo to go in for engine to go in [:-B]
    and I'm not sure what way I'm sorting the wiring yet until I start working on it ...make it up as I go along :thumbup:
    once wiring is done its all down hill ...just can't be bothered [:|]
