Who did the Reco, dude? Spot on job.

Bloody hell! First time I've seen a smooth un-cracked, un-faded MK1 dash!
Congratulations on that!

a guy out at eastern creek in NSW. did a very tidy job and was very affordable. if your in a rush however, probably not the guy to go to...took approx 10 weeks.

got the new head on today, cleaned it all up and put all the pieces from the vrs kit in.

just waiting to fix up a few things here and there but otherwise, should have the motor in next weekend if all goes well...

paited some more bits and pieces...will put photos up tomorroww

going on a drive now with dom123 and myself (2 red mk1's) lol

[Jarred]

so the top end is all done, still have to tidy up the bottom end...i want to give the block a clean and a paint as best i can...also considering getting a new water pump as it looks pretty well used?...

one of the threads in the gearbox holes is shot and the bolt doesn't bite so i will have to get it re-threaded...
