yours is a wiring nightmare as you have the early spec loom (hazard light on the dash)

if you had the late spec loom then

you want the whole VR6 front end, engine, gearbox, loom, subframe, drives shafts the heap basically

unbolt your exisitng subframe, lift chassis up, drop out subframe with engine box & and replace with new one

v.much simplified terms!!
