Thanks for the comments, some are useful LOL. Work gets in the way.


Yesterday I jumped in the car with a Sandwich at lunchtime and drove 1.5hrs to brighton to pick up the 5 speed gearbox, It was £39. The bloke was a 911 Trader but had taken in 2 944's as part chop and broke up one for spares and sold the other. He had just done a 1.8t swap in a Passat and had also been looking at the swap in a 944 (small world eh?)


Cleaned up the box last night after work and it does look pretty good, he said the car it came from was rotten from being near the sea but had not done big miles.


This weekend I am going to bolt the torque tube to the box on axle stands and try to make a stable and level platform so that I can offer up the 1.8t block dead level to then start marking out the adapters. The Mk4 golf box will be here soon so I can strip that for the part I need and offer it up.
