It was indeed mate.
He gave me a heads up about it so I put a deposit on it all.

I had a braided clutch line from him last month. He's a good lad and comes highly recommended.

Got all the aluminium stuff back from powder coaters yesterday so started on putting the engine back together.
Sadly, I feel the head and the HPFP are letting down the rest of the engine. I did try and clean as best as possible. Perhaps, I'll have it properly cleaned later down the line?
I love this billet rocker cover. I'm not sure what to do about the timing belt cover. Should I try and fabricate some brackets so I can put it back on?
Here's the oil filter housing I have used. 1/2" BSP fittings TIG welded for my Mocal oil cooler. AN fitting in the top from BarTek for the catch can. I think this is a much better option than the horrid plastic oil filter housings.
One of my Christmas pressies:
I'll try and get some pictures tonight of the front and rear subframes etc. now it's all powdercoated.
Cheers for now!

Wasn’t at the unit very long last night. Managed to get the flywheel, clutch and gearbox on.
Gearbox letting it all down now
Had a MK4 golf cable brakes holder laying around. Decided to get it powdercoated and fitted. Being metal I’m hoping there will be less flex than the MK5 plastic one. Same for the side shifter part, usually metal but I’ve switched for metal version.
Hopefully all this together will make shifting feel a lot better!
As I wasn’t there very long I didn’t get any pictures of the suspension parts.
