So while the engine is out of the gti what is it going to be worth doing

Cambelt + waterpump is obvious
Engine mounts
Check top mount cup
Gear linkages
Fluids and filter
Clutch

Anything else that will be much easier with the block and box out basically and anything I might forget for the swap

Degrease and remove rust unless your lucky and have missed out on the tin worm
Clutch cable as said and the bush's+shaft as these wear too and make a huge difference, AC is lovely in this and all weather's

Clean the subframe so it's gleaming

Don't see it but makes it so much nicer to work on when your not covered in shit upto the arm pit

Its a 306, I just assumed the AC would be f*cked! lol

I certainly don't hate it....in fact that's one of the reasons I'm not getting another 306...AC and pollen filter ftw!

Nah will replace the engine and then decide what to do with the old one after I strip that down and see what damage was done as and when I get chance
