Well the engine isn't in it right now. I pulled the whole wiring harness a while back and I'm just starting to reassemble it. So it's hard to tell if anything is working or not yet

I can take some pictures of my 96 passat vr fuse block and see if i can find those connections of you want.

I think I have everything I need to install my VR. Pulled the pressure plate and my flywheel looked real bad. I for got that I lost first in my last tranny and started in second for like a week. So I ordered a clutch kit (I should have listened to Jason sooner) resurfaced my fly wheel. Some where along the line I seem to have misplaced my shifter bushing so I'm going to try some billet bushings from verdict motor sports and I also got a rear wiper arm delete kit from them. Mine has never worked and I never felt like I needed to fix it. I also ordered some headers and exhaust wrap.
shinny fly wheel, shifter bushings, rear wiper delete
exhaust all wrapped up. this was far more time consuming than I expected. Took me about three hours and 50' of 2" wrap.
My engine with all the parts installed and painted.

Looks awesome. did you rebuild your engine or just clean it up?

Heck yeah!

I just cleaned it up and resealed a lot if things

That's a nice pallet jack

Under that car cover is my bosses Porsche 930 turbo. But the jack is pretty sweet too lol

So I got my VR in the car. Not running yet but it's a step in the right direction.
One of the most frustrating days of working in my car ever! My heater core ended up breaking the outlet off when I hooked up a heater hose.
Then I tried to take my wheel off. The adapters I have to run my shooters one of the studs spun so I couldn't remove the nut. I ended up drilling it and splitting the nut off the stud. After spending two hours removing my wheel I decided to call it a day.
One of these days I will have a project that goes smooth. I lost a lot of enthusiasm for working on my car today.

Don't lose hope. just bypass the heater core for now maybe
