Rowlsey, not teaching you how to suck eggs here mate, but get the vento panels up on edition 38, the golf boys pay good money for the bonnet, grill and headlights, they go on a mk3, as do the doors, wings, we broke one for an aaz, was tempted to break another, you,ll easy get half your money back on the bonnet grill and lights alone, fingers crossed your up and running soon,

ooooooh! its on kindof!
 thats the abf lump and the old auto box trial fit if you like!
spent sat / sun stripping the vento down and playing with my mates gsxr750! mmmmm nice!
 engines out just need to pull exhaust off! need a 4 poster really!!!
 now gutted and sat outside the unit just in case i need anything else!!
adapter plate is now fitted to the 8v engine and im anticipating fitting the autobox and removing it quite a few times this weekend!
as the engine was attached to an auto transmission in the vento it already has the coverplates for the lower next to the sump and the rearmost one where theres a hole to access the tourque converter retaining bolts! nice!! i'll bob some more pics up of the new set-up this weekend!!
wheres the excited emoticon????

That extra room at the top of the engine bay in a pickup looks like it makes it a helluva lot easier to fit different engines in.

All looking good rowlsey, another man with a bakery trolley/engine stand,
 , take it theres no clearance problems with the engine upright then, seems the way to go with a pick up, good luck with the fire up, looks like it will be soon.

yeah loads of room in there now! that extra 6-8 inches really helps!! got the battery tray out of the vento so thats going where the fuel filter is. bought a facet fuel pump and gti inline filter so those will be fitted like the dj set up across the main chassis rails underneath. exhaust is gunna run across the back similar style as normal. just doing the down pipe with lamba then fitting a mid and back box that came off the ibiza and if that dont sound or look too bad i'll see about getting a nice stainless jobbie made up! oh and then im making a skid plate that bolts to the adaptor plateto protect the sumps on the box and engine.

look look its back on the floor!!! spent all weekend finishing off the exhaust and fitting up water hoses accelerator linkage and general brackets to hold stuff out of the way or support things!
   thats the exhaust done!! looks kindof ok! didnt take one of the back-box (which i cant decide looks tough or chavvy?) as it exits behind the drivers side which is against the wall!
 started to wire it up and did get it to turn over and fire up! (youve got to havent you!) but there was a very loud mettalic sound and realised i havent filled the auto-box and converter!
 almost pissed meself when i realised and hope (fingers crossed and all that) i havent fucked it!
 as i ve left it! might tidy the wiring up a bit!

hey curt! that wiring didnt look too bad til i stripped the insulation off it! once its laid out on the floor and you trim off whats not needed! (before you take off insulation!)
i really wana rag it about so the sooner its done the better!
lewis there home brew stands! got a long reach trolly jack and made the stands so they can sit at 800mm! as long as there put under the crossmember wheree the trailing arms fix i can get the arse about 1200mm high just the right level for welding exhausts! and bolting up driveshafts!

shouldnt of left it yesterday as it wouldnt start today????? spent most of today re-tracing my steps to try find why the fuel pump wouldnt cut in!!! one wire missed out!!! can you belive it!! never mind eh?
 nice b&q induction pipe (read drain pipe!) need to make a bracket to hold the air-flow unit as its just resting behind the battery
 behind engine! just need to wrap the loom to keep all the crap off it!
  the fuse box and ecu are in the box out behind the wheelarch tub and covered by a plate. so its working and drivable but and theres always a but! one of the water hoses is leaking and so is one of the oil cooler pipes! nice!! and the engine mount needs altering to get to it! which i was hoping to get away with!! annnnnnd the exhaust sounds wank! but it does go better than expected! keep me busy for a bit longer anyway!
