The start of the strip down.
9A engine
ABF engine
Started to strip some parts off it before putting it on an engine stand for storage.

I haven’t researched enough about it but I was wondering if it would be easier/cheaper to go MK3 tank and pump etc. and this would lend itself more to running the ABF engine. I’ve got a hydraulic pedal box and the engine/gearbox mounts I need. Plus I have an ECU and engine loom for it.

Threw some (badly matched) Jade Green paint on it because I'm impatient.
Then seam sealed it because I'm sensible.
Forgot to take a picture after I put more (badly matched) Jade Green paint back on top of the seam sealer.
Had to make and let in a little repair for the chassis leg. I've not got a picture of it dressed, so here's what my ugly welding looks like.

The project came with two 2.0 engines. A 9A Corrado engine and a Mk3 ABF engine. I've got a couple of matching gearboxes also.
I've budgeted around 2 years and about £5k for the project. Both of those might be wildly conservative though.

Plan is to restore it to almost standardish but maybe add a load of OEM+ upgrades.
If anyone is near Newcastle upon Tyne and fancies a brew while having a look around it just give me a shout.
