Time came to ditch the old 8v, and treat it to something a little more, a low km VR6 from a 1999 MK3
(PICK N PULL engine sale day three or four years ago)

And with thanks to Boostisbetter(Colin) its finally back in action, ready for winter with VR6.

thanks for the comments.

just got it aligned today, R&H did a great job as per usual.

had Jerrys Mufflers look after the exhaust, good deal with them as well.

it turned out better than I expected, it drives like a dream (all new steering parts, bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints) and has sooooo much more power than what it used to be. I think the HP/torque numbers now are about twice what it started with (1.8 8v VS. 2.8 VR6)
