Hi all, first post from new member.
I recently bought a project rs turbo van from eBay, some of you may have seen it. Mk4 in silver.
It's mot'd & tax'd but comes with a rattly bottom end although is still running and quiet on idle with no smoke.
I stripped the sump off it yesterday and the con rod shells are buggered.
Now I know it's going to need the crank reground etc but for now, as it's still tax'd I'm hoping to replace the shells and see if that works.
Here's my question. Should I replace both sets of shells or just the worn set and where do you buy a set of shells from?

Thanks Millsy
