Ok, my progress (see also the thread in the engines section):
- Installed new headgaskets and timing belt on the EJ25
- hacked off pretty much the whole back end for clearance 

- Got the kennedy adapter and installed the engine
- Hacked away pretty much the complete firewall for aircleaner clearance
- Bought a used wiring harness
- Bought a used MAF sensor (should be coming in today)
- Mounted the rad, only to find out I have to move it again
Things still to do:
- Get an electrical, in line fuel pump. (Any of you GTI guys have one lying around ?)
- Plumb fuel return line (may also the feed line, have to see how big it needs to be)
- Do the wiring  
  
 
- Hook up the radiator
- Build cover for hole in firewall
- Build cover for radiator
- Get lexan rear quarter windows with naca ducts
- etc etc etc
...one day....
