Right then got a mk1 g60 conversion coming my way never done one but needed some advise
I no the mount need to be fabd up or bought just wonderd what big issues I'm gonna have ? I have a complete Corrado g60 do most parts should be there ?
Any links as on my phone and searching seems to come up with real basic answers thanks

I haven't done a G60 conversion but the only real hurdles will be wiring. It's best to convert the mk1 to CE2, just soldering and testing with a multimeter to make sure it's wired up properly. You can piggyback the rado fusebox although it's not really the best option.
The downpipe and engine mounts will be fairly straight forward. Obviously use all of the G60 brake setup. Can't see any major issues with rad etc either, may need to fab some brackets up but space shouldn't be an issue.

Lovely cheers
Done a few vr mk2s now and a friend askd me to do a g60 mk1 for him so said yes
Also built a convertible mk3 20v turbo had help with the wiring for that one tho :)

You can adapt the mk1 cambelt mount to fit the g60 engine, wiring is the major hurdle

Nice one I'll look into that
Wiring can't be that bad can it ?
