How much does a Golf engine weight?

[...joe]

i bought it from c&r enterprises, i think you'll need a respray, at least around the tailgate, where you bash the hell out of it lifting the engine in and out!!!!

well think im gonna put me old rims on.. give me slightly more travel... was gonna borrow a van but it should go in no probs...

Got 4 blokes to give us a hang lifting it in.. Were laughing no probs.. LOL

[knobby]

Well it went in.. Sat her on a small pallet.. wouldnt have been to keen to have done it without the pallet, helped spread the weight loads and gave something to strap it down to. Four of use to lift it in... and three to lift it out.. You could do it with two of you but it would be a struggle...

LET THE CONVERSION COMMENCE!!

Depends how much of a fat b@stard he is really!!!! but should be ok in back of a mk2 maybe a mk3 tank would be better suited though

As well as being mental, you must have

1) a bottonless wallet

2) the eye for what you want for your car

I keep telling everyone... I'm Richard Dickinson... THE BARGAIN HUNTER!!!!

Hey... im gonna try and note everything down while doing the job, take a few picies while i'm doing it so I can put a report or a brief "How To" it won't be the right way.. but it will certainly be "my way"!

Before I do anything.. I want to rebuild the 2L bottom end.. Any advice on this would be appreciated. The car had done 94k so i'd say it is well worth doing while ive got the engine out.

Cheers guys..

Knobby!
