I have been working all day on the block, and have have made a nice saving *smiley* I am confident that I can do the swap and make a good saving over all.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Well, yesterday I got the Mk1 out to play, it fired up on the first turn of the key *smiley* so I took it out and give it a good drive for 2hrs.

So when I got home I was sat in the shed having a cig, when I got thinking this place is a dump!



So a plan was thought out *Idea* so this morning I got up and got to work!

A full pack of these !


And lots of these as the day went on!


And a full wheely bin later and this is what I have ended up with *smiley*


Simon.

Thanks lads *smiley* the more I look at the place I don't know I never done it before.

I think this is all I will get done in the shed over Xmas *frown* before work takes over my life for the next 3 months.

But I know the mk1 is ready for the strip when I get back *smiley*

Well I wanted to start the new year off as I mean to go on *smiley* so I get in the man cave and got working *smiley*



Not a bad saving over all *smiley* I made sure the two I did was the same weight, and I made some Ti studs as well


Then I got thinking about this, this is made out out of ti. This is as it sits tonight, in it's rough State I just need to sit and round it off and clean it up with a file


Thanks for looking

Good bit of work in the shed. Makes me realise how bad mine has got. Should do the same with the daily driver too. I've had a steering column and wheel boss rolling about in the boot for months...........

Sorry for the late reply,,

I don't have the block at home at the min, but just nipped and tucked it *smiley* and I have a little more work I need to do on it when I get some shed time, before I will post any pics, as it's still not right and how I want it. With how work looks this will be a very slow build this year *oh well* but I am not in a rush to build it at the min. But I have all the bits ready in a box good to go *smiley*

Plus the mk1 is working too good at the min to pull it apart *smiley*
