Some pictures of the state of my stripped 2.1MV soon to be a 2.5; just in time..

Are you rebuilding a wbx 2.5 or ditching for a subaru?

It's being rebuilt as a 2.5WBX by silverbullet

Yes, number 2 it is, exciting, plan is to keep the van for a long time so I feel the investment is worth it; although it feels a bit odd to have the van in Lincolnshire, the gearbox in mid Wales and whats left of the engine in Surrey..

Location : portsmouth?

Yes, middle of Portsea Island, very near Baffins Pond.

I have seen the yellow on lots of water jacket seals, not sure why?

Good to see another WBX fan prepared to invest, modified or not better than an organ donor.

No idea on the yellow, perhaps Ian will jump in with an explanation. First van I've owned so not sure I count as a wasserboxer fan but longer term I think keeping things VW will be worth more. 2.5 build is not cheap but it's a bit different and speaking to Pete Barr does the job very well!

A trip to Ian's today to look at progress. Shiny stuff.

That's gorgeous!

It's 200+nm torque and upwards of 150BHP, apologies for mixing units.
