Done a few more things to the car.

1. 106 GTI engine conversion - photo's to come!
2. Removed all sound proofing (except stuff behind the dash)
3. De-wipered rear
4. Painted battery and ECU plates matt black as they were rusty as hell.
5. Removed spare wheel
6. Total weight removal at 23kg

Here's some photos:

Here's my old engine out, not got photo's of the new one yet but willl soon:



Half way through stripping interior out when checking for rust and removing sound deadening, I didn't take any more photo's as I forgot when I got too involved!



Here's me weighing the sound deading on some scales, came to 6kg!



Removed spare wheel and weighed, 15kg!



Battery and ECU plates removed:







And after painting:





After hacksawing my wiper arm off:





The end result:



And weighing the gear in on the scales, another 2kg!



Oh and for those who have seen my quick tip for tidying up rear of back seats, this is photo which shows. Got them back to new condition using black shoe polish!
