actually its you that knows f**k all, i didnt pay nobody to put the engine in, me and ben did the converison on my drive,

I see what you did there.  Oooh, you're cleverer than we give you credit for at times.  :grin:

certainly not for 500 quid or even a grand.. saying stuff like this is just plain bonkers.. made yourself look a fool saying that too

Shows how far out of your league you are.  You've done one expensive engine conversion and you know all there is to know about doing them and how much they cost. :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Diamond Hell: "Haha why do people pay for a standard when we can bodge something together for mere carrots?"
Danny: "I dnt no relly, they just dnt have orr vast knolege on making track cars on budget that look like sh!te. Luky we dont have any frends so we can spend all orr tyme making sh!te which others pay for coz they have lives and the rest of the tyme we can spend talking sh!te and being arrogent twits on the internet"
Diamond Hell: "That we can, I will spend some of my time correcting grammar and spelling as it's one of my lives greatest wants, the rest I can spend insulting others and generally trying to bring down the tone on the forums. I can use my newly founded anti "your mum" comments on anything and everything completely irrelevant!
Danny: "kewl"

Diamond Hell: "Danny, why don't I have any friends?"

Why not?  £1500 Skoda vRS, selll all you don't need.  Final cash out would be under a grand.

and that goes for ABF Turbo too.

Agreed on that one.

go try it then...lol u will see

considerd buying full S3, even breakers fetch silly money (for a good miles car) so looked at full cars non damaged, cheapest at the time were coming in just shy of 3k and they ALL had well over 125k

i wanted less than 70..

anyhow mine was alot more to do than a regular 1.8T conversion, 1.8T engines and full looms start at around 500 mark.. as i say. 2.5k to 3k minimum to do the conversion. thats what i wil cost you no matter how you do it... if you have time to sell parts then cool.. but you WILL need the bits i listed earlier in the thread plus more.

on a side note i could have very easily got a stolen car of my choice for 500 9was offered this - even a 16k miles new shape S3) and gone down that route. I did not want my car to be at all dodgey and everything is done to a high standard

? and ???

did i not say before they start around 500?  its still gonna cost you 2.5k minimum to convert into a golf 1,2,3.. and thats if you start with a GTI in the first place

doubtfull they go cheaper at auctions as i keep an eye on it and scrap value is wworth not much less - ben just got £175 for a mk 3 bare shell full of junk!!
