Thats a pretty nice find! As for reverse crunching thats normal. The T5 has an unsyncronised reverse. Meaning when selecting reverse all youre doing is sliding a straight cut gear (idler gear) in between two more straight cut gears located on the mainshaft and laygear, causing both to turn in the same direction. So if youve just stepped on the clutch and straight away tried to jam it in reverse while everythings still turning, you naturally get a crunch. To stop this either select any other gear first (usually 4th or 5th) or hold the clutch in until everything stops turning. I can hear mine when it stops, and go again if I let the clutch back out. Dunno if thats normal or not could just the input shaft bearing wearing out lol its not really that noticeable though. Then if you find it wont go into reverse, with a small amount of force hold the stick towards reverse and gently let the clutch out. Its just the idler gear wasnt aligned with the others.

Cheers mate..

Ill try that next time. What i do now is depress the clutch, release & repeat slowly a couple of times when its cold.

I should probably just learn to reverse in the driveway next time for a cold morning start.

Just as we started with the seal swap:

The amount of mess we made, But it is all clear now

Under car, Basically how it sat most of the time

Interior, Worked on the stereo at the same time:

Wonky exhaust:

And new clutch, Unwrapping it was like xmas:

Then we took the car for a test drive with the 245's and a car load, bad mistake, 100m up the road is all we got, rubber up the guards, smoke coming out the guards and this:

And now just a quick shot from the other day:
