Ben,
When I get all the bits I need I will be harassing you regularly to get all the details of how to put this together. Michael from Townsville seems to have the engine cradle I need - problem is getting it down to Terrigal NSW.
With the crashed car and Excess payment and new car purchase - a lot of my new donk funds are gone.
I will see what happens in the next tax period and hopefully get some more bits then.
Cheers,
Skot

I have only just found this info since I have been chasing a vibration at 110-115 ks.
I have made a laser alligning tool to help allign the two flanges.
You will also have to modify the bash bar again.
Better pull the finger out if your going to do this by Christmas!!Maybe better to wait till next year.
By the way excellent purchase with your new car.
Did you know there is now a 12 month wait on Polo GTI if you want one.Thats ridiculous.
