Hello,
we parked almost opposite each other at Ultimate Dubs, on the SciroccoNet/Scirocco UK stand. I've got the sparkly red Mk2 with gold wheels... Yours was getting some looks ;)

I think i can remember a tidy red mk2 at UD mate.. must have been you. And i am using a O2J gearbox with mk4 cable shifter and a B&M Short shifter. And as for the clutch set up i am using a lightened g60 flywheel with standard luk clutch kit and running the SEAT cable clutch system.

A little update of a few hours of removing battery tray, expansion tank bracket, washer bottle bracket, and vacuum tank bracket... Plug welded the holes, sealed and skimed. Rust removal to the slam panel.

Engine bay is now painted, and i am happy with the results. Gearbox is ready for fitting to engine, with a new lightened and balanced flywheel and vr6 clutch.
