    I`ve got some spare time on my hands so i thought i`d post some pics up. I only started work on the front end last week but managed to get the engine in the car, it seems to fit quite well apart from i dont think i`ll be able to get the front grill on as the cam pulley seems to sit right about flush with the front of the car but i think i can modify the back gearbox mounts on the subframe to pull the engine back an inch or two, hopefully without any adverse effects on the drive shafts. Also intercooler positioning is going to be a problem and the radiator is going in the boot.

    Olso at the moment im giong to make some engine mounts coming off the space frame and maybe a crossmember with a snub mount but that depends on how rigid the engine mounts are.

    I found space to be a premeum in the mk2 engine bay especially on the turbo side of the engine but the frame helps free up some space which will be needed to fit the GT35/40 turbo which hopefully arrives the end of this month.

    BBS RS are the only wheel to fit mk2 golf!

    These BBS can be pain in the a.s if You want to clean them. I know it very well. For me Avus rules
    Something else, can You imagine them if they are only 15" with 195 tyres with tuned S2 motor??

    Dont get your hopes up - you cant fit 5/112 to 4/100 unless you convert to 5/100 hubs first.....
