The R32 has come home! Haven't been for a proper drive in it just yet as it isn't rego'd but my god, the short trip home from the mechanics was amazing. Gearbox was completely rebuilt from the ground up and there's no more horrific grinding noise when in Neutral or any other gear for that matter! Gear changes are buttery smooth, no weird noises coming from anywhere any more and the engine purrs - so glad to have it back home.

Checked my rear speakers yesterday afternoon and they do work, so no need to replace them any more. Last final things to get sorted are to reinstalled the rest of the interior pieces, redo roof lining, make a nice carpet to cover the rear seat section (no more rear seats in this anymore), give it a really good wash and some hella stance.
