    I have to say. First beautiful build. Second… thank you for calling it by its correct name and not calling it a rabbit.

    • @xMikeyPIZZAx
      @xMikeyPIZZAx 8 місяців тому

      He's never called it a rabbit before, so what is that meant for? Not to mention the US rabbit pickup came before the caddy in Europe, so calling a US pickup a caddy would be incorrect...

    Loving the build, some amazing work you are doing. What made me smile the most, was how your dad celebrated just as much as you when it started up. You cant beat a build, but doing it with your dad is priceless... you could see how proud of you he is. Cant wait to see the progress, one of the nicest builds i have seen

    I love that pedal bracket, such a need job. For the steering boot, obsoleteUK do a heat wrap cover that will stop the rubber boot melting. Well worth it.

    I would consider going for a brake pedal box to sort your space issue. It would clean up the bay nicely too.

Looking very smart engine bay looks very almost standard looking except for ugly plastic VW bottles. Reckon ox blood leather interior dark grey carpets. Where are you building this?

    Zak I completed a 2.8 Vr6 conversion into my Mk2 Golf a while ago (over 10 years ago now! Got a slide show of it on my YT) and at the time posted on the Mk2Vr6 forum a fair bit which ended up shutting down, sad times.
    I had a little batch of milled Vr6 headgasket keyrings made by GruvenParts in the USA sent over for other VR6 owners. I have some left and can send you one.
    I'll PM you and can send to whatever address.
