Yea - absolutly love Andre's R32....

if i could get mine anywhere near as neat as that i'm going to very happy indeed... and i'm trying very hard

engine mounts, and all brackets (p.s / ac etc), plate between motor and gearbox, all soda blasted and powdercoated today. should have them tomorrow

twin turbo pipe, droped at Piet's Fab lab to cut and weld in seperator plate to avoid "turbo shuffle"

The problem with that is if you have a N1 (R35k) crank you would like to protect it by using a expensive damper. lol
