decided i culdnt stand the 1.4 engine so due to my bro putting vr6 in his golf meaning i had everything i needed to convert mine so didnt waste time doing it. so out the 1.4 engine came and a conversion was to b made.
 





didnt take long at all just had few issuses with sparking which turned out to be crank positions sensor,
driveshafts are on the way and needed new gear selector bush so waiting for that and still gota fit the vr6 calipers and wait for the g60 disc to arrive.
