Engine is here!!

Today we finally took delivery of the engine! After much wrangling with the shipping agent (read massive price increase) and not getting anywhere we finally had the engine delivered here. Very exciting once we forgot about the hassle we had! Pictures below!

The engine was delivered on a lorry as the crate was so big!

I was a bit eager to check it out so it's half unpacked here! It was packed really well and came complete with muffler fitted!!

You can see here how much packing material there was!! There are more VW/Audi boxes to the left which stopped things moving around.

Ready and waiting to be lifted off the base pallet!

Nicely settled in next to its new home!! We are actually moving the engine from the workshop into the house (into the spare dining room!!) so we have as more room to work on the actual car!

One more piece of the puzzle complete :)
