• clutch kit & cable - Sachs MK4 AFH 16v kit
• gearbox stipped & checked by Stephen A Brear gearboxes in Leeds
• replaced passenger side outer CV boot

MOT certificates from just after and then just before the engine conversion, you can see that the shell has ~4000 more miles on it than the engine / just some of the paperwork

I've only really driven the car on the occasional day to work and some weekends instead of the TDI. I don't actually need a second car right now - so it's sat there, taxed, tested and insured (and it's looking increasingly like I'll be needing the money for a house)...

Price is £2200; the car is in Batley, West Yorkshire, near Wakefield, Leeds...
