Engine was re-installed ran great for some months.
Then I ran into some valve trouble with a bent valve that contacted piston no 2, so the head came off, new valves, new headgasket and a trip to the engineering shop later the engine was back again. That will teach me to dice GTI golfs robot to robot....revving to above 7300 or so.
Anyway in early december I replaced the side light lenses and put gaskets on etc.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
