Latest conversion is something a little different so thought id do a build thread on here

Its a 1994 Golf GL Estate with a 2.0 8v lump. Automatic gearbox.. Only done 74K miles 2 owners from new

Iv not seen another mk3 20VT so its a interesting one.

The customer has told me the engine needs to be all black. So we are moving away from my trade mark OEM finish on the engine in favour of Satin black.. Rest of the install is going to be keeping the OEM vibe tho

Engine we are using is donated from a Audi TT and was then installed in a Audi A3. It is a 180 BHP unit with K03s Turbo

here are the plans for it

full strip and rebuild inc painted parts in black
Forged Conrods
ARP bolts
all new Gaskets and seals etc
Full Turbo Rebuild and Hybrid
Full 2.5" Exhaust system Including custom downpipe and no Cat
Mk3 GTI ABF gearbox and flywheel
Golf mk3 ABF Pedal box
Golf Mk3 ABF clocks
Audi TT ECU / Looms
Golf mk3 GTI 288mm brakes
golf mk4 rear callipers
Coilovers
MK3 BBS solitude rims, painted Black

Aiming for around the 250 Bhp mark to start with

only just started this, a couple of pics to get us going

Removing from the A3, next to it is the MK3 thats donating the gearbox, flywheel, engine mount brackets along with Brakes etc

Started stripping engine

new bits arriving daily,

This should be a proper Q car by the time your finished. I'd love something like this!

I've been contemplating a mk3 wagon TDI with big boost for ages now, I think they look wicked once slammed especially in storm grey.
Look forward to seeing this come along.

Will be watching this with interest, i've been looking at mk3 wagons for a while now to replace the missus crappy pug 206..

it is quite hard to find a good example wagon.. this one comes with no rust.. very hard to find indeed looked at loads and the good ones were selling as soon as they were listed

we missed out on a couple of Late Registered ones (year 1999 T place etc)

S & T reg cars are definitely the ones to be snapping up but yeah they really do go quickly, especially the derv ones.
