VW Baja ROTARY install

I could but I'm not that desperate to get it running with a leaky radiator.

It's not a big deal to pull the engine. Infact this engine was actually in the Cosmo for a while last year for precisely the reasons stated above (to get it broken in etc) but ran out of time and my bro was interested in the Cosmo so I had to put a different engine in it. So I rushed the baja project along and figured I could get away with a fresh rebuild as long as I got it in there and running before the winter. Well, winter is pretty much here now and no runny.

Anyhoo the cut-off point for getting the GLC running is Feb so I have from now till then to come up with an alternative engine for it. Why not use the baja engine in the mean time? That's the part that makes sense to me. So that's most likely what I'm going to do.

I'll get a pic before I pull it in a few days so you can see how the exhaust is routed, wires etc.
