Picking it up tonight :D

Picking up my first VR6 Mk2 tonight. Had a white K plate 16V before but it was lacking something. Turned out it was lacking a VR6 engine :D

picked it up on friday and sent it off to the garage on sunday for a full health check

report back from the garage today:

NSF Spring is gone, getting both replaced.
Both front top mount bearings are gone.
OS Rear axle bush is gone
3 out of 3 exhaust brackets are gone, being held on by elastic bands at the moment
Leaky Oil Pressure switch, needing the full front end off to fix (waiting for a new rad before this gets done, so both can be done together)
Radiator seems fine now with the RadWELD has been applied, but the Rad is not actually attached to anything, just jammed in between the engine and the front but pretty sturdy by all accounts.

No rev counter, need MK3 clocks for that to work, might try and get the hydralic clutch in as well. Need new wheels and after that, might looks at brakes and susp.

Going to get it on a rolling road friday to give me an idea of my starting point.
