Minor update, got an hour in the scrappy today, managed to get all head bolts out with a standard socket wrench; winning! erm, removed the water pipes, disconnected the rest of the plugs, cables and general useless crap surroudning the head, but for the life of me couldnt get the cambelt cover off to expose the cams/take the head up. Also, the exhaust had been previously CHOPPED so i dont even have to fiddle with the exhaust side of things!
Heading again tomorow to try and drop the engine at least, a pic from todays work; FML
EDIT: Also, purchased (when i say purchased, provisonally bought, but now seeing the car up for sale) a recon'd GTI head, loom, unlocked ECU, gearbox and shafts from Sam on here - if it goes through, he WILL receive a cheeky banana .
