A massive thank you to Gary at GOK and all the other pricks who helped out with the skoda. Wouldn't have gone back together so well?(or at all...) without the help. For anyone who needs something doing on any sort of car/van/bike, Gary is your man, located in Liverpool he's a top mech and plenty of users already know/use him. The website isn't up and running yet but give him a buzz, he's the one in the know and a lot cheaper than anywhere else!
Car now back together feels really tight, engine picks up a lot cleaner and it loves breaking traction in 3rd now which it never did before hand. Handling wise it's night and day, despite being on crap coilovers turns in really positive.
Work that was done
Rear ARB
Polybushed rear beam
New brake lines
Car fully undersealed
Engine out, box rebuilt
New Single mass flywheel and clutch conversion
Hi flow exhaust mani
Silicone hoses
Painted the motor and box and other bits and bobs
Deleted any uneeded vac hoses and bits
New scuttle panel
New Lambda sensor
Cleaned pick up pipe
R32 front ARB and polybushes
Full fluid and filter change
Bentley leather trimmed steering wheel
Graphics on the back door for a giggle....
Nuts bolts etc changed for new ones were needed
Amongst bits and bobs i've forgotten the car feel brand new!
quick tunnel vid, will be getting the go pro out soon for a few runs
