havn't updated this thread for a while so here goes.

It's not forsale anymore and i'm now in the process of doing what i said i would in the 1st place which was to run a G60 corrado engine

This is the doner engine which i pulled out of my scirocco.

and this is sat on the floor after an hours work

was very dirty so i made a start on stripping it and giving it a clean.

and here is the charger it's a stage 2 at the mo but will have it ported to stage 4 at some point.
it was very dirty so cleaned it up a bit.

Anyhow cleaned it all up and painted the block and stuff.
starting to take shape now

painted the charger bracket and pulleys ready to go back on.

started to rebuild it,charger bracket and some pipes back on.

pulleys and lower belt cover back on.

charger painted back up and ready to go back on once the engine is in.

so got a few things done.will be nice and quick off the line as i'm running the original 8v box which has low gearing so will max out at 120mph.just got to source a slimline intercooler and some pipework and it's ready to go.

You know what they're like though, great fun, but you're always waiting for something to break

some more done on the engine and charger.

Painted the pulley bracket and refitted all the pulleys and attached them to the charger bracket.

also fitted my charger blanking plate and breather on the engine.these eliminate the need for the boost return pipe which chuck loads of hot air and dirty oil back into the charger.
