Dan's mk2 8v to ABF project **Build For Le Mans??**

Did you keep it ?

It does make sense and i suppose it's less hastle for VW to leave it there. I will see when I plug the battery in to whether stuff works lol

  Mine was wrapped in as part of the engine loom I think so left it strapped up behind the fuse box.

Right well if everything works then i will just remove or leave it as i want the fusebox to be tidied so its easier to work on as when i unplugged everything and removed the engine the fusebox and wiring was a right old mess.. 

update on gearbox i have these part numbers

2 part numbers ive found,

o2A 945 413 B - on the shift tower - And google says this is the reverse light switch

o2A 301 107 C - on the inside of the housing - Quick google tells me its a 5speed trans housing

any ideas ?

Can get pics of gearbox if that helps people ?

Sure there will be someone out there in need of a vr6 g/box.

 I'm wishing I hadn't thrown out my old mk3 tank/pump/fuel lines

yer there should be its mint and got all new seals throughout so its cheap for what you get..

yer i just wish i had more space as i would have kept the mk3 subframe, steering rack and all that stuff and swapped it over for the mk2 stuff but as space was sought after i had to get rid

Am fed up with getting it running ABF atm so the rebuilt engine is now for sale... Just going to get the body and everything else solid and then fit an engine at the end..

You're not putting the ABF in!? Bummer dude. Have you thought about it long and hard? Why not hold onto the engine until you're ready?

[tech1889]

Yer i dont want to fit it anymore.. If it doesnt sell and when im ready to fit it its still here then i will fit it but tbh ive lost heart with it.. especially after i found out i had the wrong box..

im still going ahead with the car but the engine will be decided further down the line its not a big deal at the moment
