Enough with the teasers here are some progress pics..lol
since we had to put the pedals in we decided that it would be alot easier to do that before we used the lift of course so here are a few pics of the SC parked inside the shop putting the Pedals and the Clutch Master Cylinder in..

crepping inside the shop.

who doesnt like a nice A$$.LoL

...random shots


A few interior shots..




Mounting the pedals..






iight now that the pedals are mounted on and the Clutch master cylinder is in we put the car on lift..
Exhaust is unbolted and hanging from the hangers..



Unbolted and took out the Downpipe..


Took out the Auto Sc300 Driveshaft and mated the Rear Piece Driveshaft with the Mkiii (W58) Front Piece Driveshaft..also took the Sc300 center Bearing off aswell and mated it.. heres a pic of the new Driveshaft

Man am I happy to see this thread.....I'm about to do the same, just have a few random parts left to get...How was it mounting the clutch pedal assembly? Have to do any hole drilling in the firewall? The brake pedal arm just swap out for the manual SC arm?

The Clutch pedal assembly was mouthed jus like the factory 5spd Sc's are, yes u will have to drill the holes in through the firewall, and yes u jus have to swap out the brackets for the brake pedals

Its complete bro, and yes the gauge cluster works jus fine
