MK2 VR6 help

[sidecarphil]

ok so i have decided to come over to the uk and buy a mk3 VR6 ready for my conversion

so my question is ,

i want to put the engine / box / subframe the lot into my car

BUT my car is a 1989 car so is it going to be a lot more wiring work ??

i also want to use the compete dashboard so do i just use the mk3 wiring loom ??

i'll be over withing the next couple of weeks for the "Doner"

please help (again) LOL

Depends if you have a late or early '89 

Mine has the post 90 spec wiring (emergency light on column)

yeah my hazard light switch is on the dash

if your using the mk3 dash, just wire the whole car with mk3 goodies imo, will mean a full strip down of the car (but as you doing that anyway what difference does it make

you only have to worry about 2 looms anyway, and with a decent manual its simple to splice the mk2 and ce1 together.

[sidecarphil]

yeah this is what i plan to do

but i don't want to get rid of the MK3 only to find there is something i needed LOL

[Jay]

You not just gonna drive it over to Holland and rip it apart there?

[sidecarphil]

yeah

well trailer it ere

then tair it apart ere

sell the sh1t i don't want

but i dont want to sell the something that at a later date i will need 

[pro-biotic]

ahhh thats why you do the job first then sell the crap yeah...

[sidecarphil]

ok so i'm not going to use the dash

so how do i get a VR6 to work in an early car

without a massive swap of later wiring

[VR6_ROB]

would it not be easier to use the vr fusebox and change the plugs over from your old loom for things like lights and dash switches etc

oh and phil your making a good decision you will love it
