Nice one...your spin on oil filter thing confuses me...I have a spin on oil filter already on my 2A...does this mean mine has been fitted with a later engine?
Good work though TBH I wouln't know where to start with a gearbox refurb - I would be so worried of doing my best, getting it all back together and in the car and it going "crrrrrrrrrrunch....ding" hehe!
