Paul has done a tip top job in the 4 weeks
( as promised ), just got a 5 hour train trip and a nice 6 hour drive back home next saturday. He has just gotta wire the engine up, fit the air filter and magnex exhaust and it'll be roaring back to sussex.
...will have some more pics when its finshed.got some side skirts to paint and fit, and gotta re-furbish some MK2 alloys and paint them white.
....watch this space for more piccys
Well, finally picked up the finish article and WOW
!! they engine note pass 4750rpm sounds soooooooooooooooooo cool !!!! the exhaust keeps everything nice and standard sounding, so no booming and popping and stuff.
changes the way the car drives now, this should of been rolling out of the factory from new

( thats how good the engine sounds ! ) 
and NO, it didnt break down
( AA box !! ) i used that to should how orange the sky was !!!! 
( you can tell the pics i took and the ones that Paul took......GET A DECENT CAMERA PAUL !!!!! 
next up is sorting out the paint work and de-badging the back etc etc
if anyone is umming and rring about getting this conversation done, take this advice.
... DO IT
!! DO IT NOW !!!!
you forgot to re-fit the hobnobs, do you think the V6 will make up the power that you've lost from removing those
