I really like the Jetta. It's so comfy and refined...might need to invest in one someday...
Anyway a few pictures have arrived from Ecosse...It's not finished and from the pictures it's evident there is still all the wiring to do, cambelt needs fitting, the camshafts need timing, airbox needs fitting, throttle linkage needs fitting...mapping...a lot of still to go work. What's been done so far looks good though. I like the vernier pulleys. Should the cambelt covers be cut so the pulleys are on view all the time?

How come your bodies are red? Is it because they're 42mm?
Keep the pulleys on show 
Are they doing the mapping in house or taking it somewhere else?
Do you have pictures of the VT engine mounts? I want to make sure they are the same design as the Baker ones before I buy them

All bodies come in a choice of black or red don't they? I'm not sure where Ecosse do the mapping.
I've posted pictures of the VT engine mount on another post earlier in the week.

They are only used on the shafts not the cam lobes so won't do any harm.
These cams don't appear to have anywhere for spanners to sit so maybe the grips are the only option.

this is the same as the gti 180 cat cams.
on standed cams there a 24mm nut apart of camshaft so can turn camshaft on the cat ones there's nufin so cant turn it unless you molegrips or put bolt in end.

Well you say that....
But who says it still has 138? Or even left the factory with 138 to start with  |
before my gti died it had 144, it was remapped to 146 in 2001 so engines can keep there bhp and its will p**s well over the 160 seriously

looking good ed, my pullys are on show,↲Did you not opt for a oil catch tank? As when you open it up it could get a bit messy in the air box if thats were there feeding the breather pipe to.

It's safer to have the cam covers on i suppose. How would you cut the cover Paul?

There are little circles already moulded into the cover. I'd just cut them out.
