    Ooh that slippery snowball slope, reminds me of when I 20vt’d my mk3 golf vr6 many years ago, one thing led to another etc, lol. Loving this, nice one Dan.

    Dan. Great video. Some engine deletes and relocations is going to be really interesting. Going so far and then stopping is right on the money for me. Please keep the detail/tutorial/walk-through type feel in the videos. That’s what sets this channel apart. Don’t need tight edits. Memphis is very good at this and getting the balance 👌.

      Cheers bud, I don't want to go silly with it as I still want to be able to just jump in it, drive it and not worry about it. Just feels like it might be a missed opportunity slinging the engine in and not doing these extra bits. Aiming to still do it as a bit of a how to as I can't find a detailed one online.

    Looking good so far Dan, when you first start these projects it seems very daunting and progress seems slow but when you get a plan together then it will start to move along, try not to think to far ahead mate as you will get overwhelmed and won't know where to turn next, good luck mate I'm looking forward to the next instalment 👍

    Dan, for future reference; you don't really need the unsightly weight on top of the shift tower.

    Nice one mate. Regarding the alloy alternator/PAS bracket I've done the same with all my 1.8t conversions where I wasn't using Power Steering, just chopped it as you described - no issues whatsoever , much neater too

    Dan, dont delete the panel across the back of the engine bay! I almost passed out and crashed a mk3 fiesta turbo that had that missing and i thought it was nbd. It is a big deal! Its like driving around with the exhaust pipe plumbed into the hvac if you have any leaks / breather issues. Danger!
