Re: GTI6 engine conversion
cleaned, preped and painted the gti6 gear selector rod.
cleaned up the gti6 driveshafts. Looks like the outer cv boots have been changed recently as they look quite new so that will save me a job.

Re: GTI6 engine conversion
Why is the aircon pump in there? Take it out and use the rallye aux system...weight saving! Gives an extra 10 bhp at least
