question for the mk1 guy and girls

[deanpompey]

its been done before, but not very often!

i considered it then backed out as i needed a FULLY USEABLE daily that my mrs could drive when needs be, not just a strip toy.

if thats all it is, THEN GO FOR IT!!!!!!!

If you wanna daily driver, why not rip out the rear seats and 'pop' the lump there, the bonnet area would make a huge boot, and the weight won't be a problem in the middle.  Whilst you're at it, a couple of turbos and a NoZ kit wouldn't hurt...

first never used nitrous and never sill if you need it you dont need to be racing

second everyone i talk to says that the mk3 isnt a good shell to build on better is mk1,2,4,5,6,
so mk3 is out

but yes i thought about rear mounting the r32 into the mk1 or 2
and be ok dont know yet still looking into thoughts and plans it might be just as easy to buy a mk4 5 or whatever and just weight it out for the strip

so is it possible to shoehorn a r32 into the mk1 or should i be looking at mk2's 
i am looking for a project and i know where a mk1 is at for 200 and it only needs fenders
so if its possible then i would like to cram a r32 into there


think it would be a monster 

check this one m8

Far too much weight in the front of a mk1 to be honest.

[loki86]

it would be rear mounted not front
and then the big deal is finding a big enough shoe horn to put in the engine
 

[deanpompey]

if its a car simply for the strip then why bother with rear mounting??
it only has to go in a straight line!
 

[loki86]

because it will end up being a rear mount rear wheel drive more weight over the axle
and because its my project
