Thanks for all the positive comments, really appreciate it ! Ive done all the work myself on nights after work and put alot of effort in so far! just need to carry on and get it finished ! will finish re-furbing my gearbox tomorrow so will have some pics up soon :y:

*UPDATE*


After manny hours armed with my array of sanding tools my Gearbox is all clean , looking new and finished ! What you think ?

It mite sound crazy but i wont be keeping this gti box for long! as i will eventually put a xsi box in. But this one is the guinea pig for my secret finish :y:







Also my little radio in my garage died :n:
so quickly as a flash i rigged up some temporary tune-age lol




Comments please !!

anyone know a good place to get my flywheel lightened and balenced ? Also mite not get a new clutch to keep cost down as i have one thats done 20,000 miles in the gti box and 60,000 in the vtr box ! Hmmm ??

That has come out really nice there bud!! Wish i had the time to get my S1 box cleaned up!

In response to your previous comments, Atspeed are selling lightened and balanced flywheels and Saxo_schott is selling a 1.4XSI gearbox for £150!! Bargain price!

Jason :hug:

Cheers for the info will look into Atspeed ( im guessing there to buy new instead of sending mine off ) and as for the gear box i really would snapp his hand off but im on a tight budget at the moment and need to focus my cash on getting it on the road and working lol so my box will do for now!
but thanks for the help matt :y:
