now the ressurection worthy of a award ( even if i do say so myself
managed to source some used pistons and rods with much thanks to people on this form
after a nice clean up and polish of everything they came out looking like this ...
within a week of receiving the pistons and rods my dad came home from he's holiday in Europe bearing gifts

now the next step of the car was to go to vw and do all sorts of test and so on to have everything ready for viv so
luckily everything went sweet and it passed without any hastles anywhere =]
then i used the permit to drive the beast around and enjoy it for a bit before rego
and most recently spent a fair bit of time making the car all sweet =]
did a de-badge
firstly did a headlight resto as they were horific to look at
and then i had time so a cut, polish and a wax was called for =]=]=]=]
( yeah i know the bottom of girlle is missing .. ive gotta do something about its faded condition )
man i wish i had some low
