Got back out in the garage and had a good day on the car, really enjoyed it.

I mounted the new 5 speed manual and torque tube, gear selector and cross brace ready to rebuild the rear suspension. For now I will just for decent Shox at the rear and put thicker torsion bars later or do coilover conversion.

I have also started making the engine mounts and they locate on the original 944 mounts on the front cross member. I should be able to offer up the engine next week and then start things like the exhaust etc.

One of my old VW mates is going to adapt the 1.8t loom to plug straight in to the porker fuse box running standard ecu and then I will get it mapped once the bigger turbo is on.
