engine conversion looms! coming out me ears at the moment. mostly mk1/2 abf looms, but I've done a load of mk1/2 1.8t looms, sent out a mk3 1.8t and mk2 r32 loom out the other week. next one in the list is convert a early mk1 entire car loom to later polo 1.4 16v stuff! that one gonna be fun :cool:

drop me a pm chap and i'll give you my mobile number, just in case you get stuck :)

main thing to be careful of is pick somewhere secure to jack up the box. if it slips and your fingers are in the wrong place it could end badly!  put some wheels under the sump or something so if it does fall it wont have your fingers off.

try to crack loose the bolts you need while the box is sat on its mount still too, oh and pop the header tank off its mount and chuck round the front of the engine. makes it way easier to get to the mount bolts. don't have to touch the hoses, just pop it off and sit round the front of the engine while you're working. hope that helps!

Thanks for the advise mate, im just slightly concerned as i only have standard jacks as apposed to trolley and ive just found out my local car nut mate is in liverpool this weekend so cant use his.  :cry:
+ i am not sure which mount i need, rear gearbox mount i guess, although there is a chance it could be the rear engine mount? Im guessing i would need to go for the G60 as apposed to GTI
Sorry i must sound like a right noob  :rolleyes:

I rang GSF but they asked me to send some pics to them so they could determine the correct one.
Here are the crap pics i sent them as its still dark when i get home. :sad:






Any ideas which one this is? it says (mount mk2 L) i think!
