Hi Mike If you do a third list then I'd like one as well please Thanks

I was after a rough estimate as to what the parts were worth. The parts have now been sold, sorry

As title, I have a 2110cc engine in bits (would just be a longblock) I would like to sell but have no idea whats it worth. Any ideas of what I can get for it? It was built by reichspeed many years ago, I got it second hand. I ran it for just over a year. I took it in to a local vw garage to...

I didnt tell the bodyshop to do it cheap, I told them to do what ever needed to be done. I also told them I wanted it to be as good as possible. The door had filler in it before and it never cracked in the 10years I've owned it.

I don't have any pictures of the door before it was filled. I only have 1 photo of 1 of the cracks, think there was about 3 maybe 4 cracks in total but they were difficult to photo. That crack was about 4-5 inches long

I need to get my steering box sorted for the MOT at the end of the month. Where is the best place to get one from? If there are issues with getting parts why hasn't anyone came up with an alternative? A rack and pinion steering conversion like you can get for splitscreens

Thank you for all the replies, I will get in contact with the recommended engine builders and see if they can help me

Can anyone recommend or suggest a vw engine builder in or near Gloucestershire. Thanks
