Tunnel and bulkhead now fully welded up inside and out Engine has been in and out a couple times to check everything clears, which thankfully after loads of welding, it all still clears and fits. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51832175284_dd589e36b9_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/518...

Re: Mk2 RWD 1.8T
Finally got my bulkhead and tunnel all tacked up with the engine and box still bolted up to ensure everything clears. Complete pain to do, especially round the drivers side as the pedalbox, steering column and 3" downpipe are all fighting for the same space. Can now drop the engine and box out ...
