Cheers jv

Anyway im still doing my vr purple on but have just lost a little love for it plus in its presant state with the bay half stripd and needs welding ive stopped for a bit


Anyway bought my self a mk3 estate 1.9tdi


And also picked up this little gem 41k on the clock

[popleyruss]

With everything stripped from the mk3 that i need its gone to the scrap yard



Im gonna bolt up the whole subframe complete as it came out the mk3

[popleyruss]

The more i look at this mk2 the more i like it
Brown dash seats undertrays carpet a b c pillers absolutly everytjing is brown proper grandad spec






Well then plans are as its ce1 ive pulled most of the loom out today and gonna replace it with ce2 loom im also gonna swap the indicators for 90spec ones obviously .

Im not 100% sure how im gonna run the fbw set up yest as ill be fitting a corrado pedal box aswell so i can run a hydro clutch

The fbw is like a solonoid version with a like pully type i think i may fab up some sort of bracket system in the scuttle panel and then keep the original throttle cable some how !!
Anyone with any info would be great

[popleyruss]

Engines all aout and a quick clean with some de greaser cant really botherd to go all out with it
Tomoro ill pull the tdi loom into the dash and roughly fit the engine and get the pedal box in and drill the hole for clutch master then bokt up the subframe and diesel lump

[popleyruss]

Got my pedal box intoday but suffering from a knackerd ankle so been in pain all day so didnt get alot done
But sorted a brown porsche wheel to go with my grandad spec


Girls turnt up before bedtime to have a look and they hate it like there mum haha

Pedal box and slave all fitted but i left it outside the workshop im hopeing next door dont turn up tho as i have blocked em out haha

Got all the loom chopped and in lighting loom and wiper loom all sorted just needs wrapping then fitting to.oro with subframe and engine

[popleyruss]

Nice project.

I had one of these engines fitted in my mk1 caddy.

It went well, rapid and economical.
