Got this few months back,pumpin loads of blue smoke.

Put it into my mates garage and got big end shells done,pistonrings,headgasket,valvestems,timing belt kit.

Got it back today running sweet as a nut,just got to run it in now

Anyway got a few bits to tidy up,get an interior etc,decent steering wheel.

Going to do wheel bearings,track rod ends etc after xmas freshen everythin up.

Gear linkage doesnt seem 100% need to get a look at it.
Seems as if when in neutral gear stick sits down pretty far and towards the drivers seat?????

heres pics








seems quite a good conversion thats been done.

Dont know what to do to it.

GSi kit was on my mind,keep it nice standard looking.
Ideas?
