After getting the car painted i then started rebuilding my engine. Before i took the car off the road i had a race with my mates A3 1.8 turbo and at 140 i ran out of fuel with was'nt good because i had no brakes and didnt give my car time to cool down. the next day when my car was cold the engine had a slight knock. So rebuild was needed. It felt abit slow anyway

block was rebord and skimmed then cleaned and painted. the crank had a regrind to .25 then lightened and balanced with the flywheel



Then had my con rods shot-peened lightened and balanced and my pistons skimed





Started on my head and other parts. Cleaning, painting and making them to how i wanted them


Before



after
