conversion using a 1.6 as a base
« on: 04 August 2011, 18:09 »
was just thinking of different possibility's and thort that because my 1.6 is a good shell ie no rust at all, using it for a 1.8t conversion insted of buyin a gti.

i know it'd be more work but question is how much more work??

cheers

About the same as fitting a 1.8T as nearly everything needs changing.
