Looking good now. Won't have to worry about gearbox problems after fitting one of them. Is the engine dry sumped or it just running a baffled one

Why sell it if it was your dads old car and holds some history for yourself?
Or could you just keep the plate?

There isnt one. Gotta be an awesome tow car with the amount of torque they have.
You taken it on track at all yet? I see them all the time in work (merc dealers) but im still yet to go out in one, never mind drive one.

He had it out on track at our show Croft but got black flagged for drifting and he had it on track at National Day but it kept going into limp mode as the gearbox was overheating! LOL

Looks and goes well.
My mate runs the same gearbox in his Mk2, and it goes really well. Shame the rebuilds are so expensive and frequent though.
