Hello, thanks for your comment, I saw your post before I signed up, good luck on the project looks like you've got your hands full!
Ignore the comments about the colour etc theres loads of potential there... Your head looks wicked I may have to go about it on mine as i've just discovered a load of old oil all over mine!
If RS200 or GTI bits are too expensive you wanna look at some SI bits if you can find them, theres loads kicking around on ebay at the moment, let me know how you get on

Looks good.
The engine is almost identical to my 1.3 HCS - apart from that strange tubing across the manifold and the copper pipe behind your plugs.. What does all that do?
If its an emissions thingamebob would you gain power by binning it off?
