Evenig all ive sold most of the parts of my 8p1 3.2 v6 now and have ended up with a rolling shell

Im looking to convert to a facelift s3, interior front end and engine ive set aside 8k for the full conversion


My main concern is that is it possiable as its a 8p1 to do it to a 8p3 s3 would most parts pop on?? if you all get me

Engine set up A3,S3, GOLF, TT, QUATTRO, 2.0 PETROL 262 BHP, BHZ ENGINE, GEARBOX, CONVERSION | eBay

aiming to get for 3k

getting all the other parts would be easy

i would just like other peoples + and -

most of all if i do go ahead

S3 badge on or off what would you do ??

cheers all looking forward to your responses

Inteerested to see how this goes, I am sure the S3 badge will be the last of your thoughts with this mountain of a project!
 
Wow engine transplant! that's quite some work there mate, the link you put up says conversion what does that mean? That they will fit that into any A3? Sorry I'm being thick :D

The parts to convert the physical appearance of the exterior to that of the 8P3 should cost no more than a couple thousand max, unless you buy everything brand new. The work to get the buts on is simple as removing and replacing front end with a little lining up required for the new higher wings (and also the brackets for these wings) pity yours is not a Sportback or I'd be doing the RS3 conversion with that cash set aside for it.

Read this thread to get upto scratch with the exterior parts required. He doesn't have the S3 front bumper or side skirts but has all else you will need.

Good luck and keep us posted mate, sounds like an interesting project

Oh and re- the S3 badge, well it's gonna be an S3 afterwards right? ;)
 
ill fit the engine myself hopefully but imo the most difficult thing i found with breaking the car was the loom biggest pain in the **** getting that out lining the car out i couldnt do ill leave that to the pro's but eta for getting all the parts 2 months eta for fitting 1 weeksss me thinks fingers crossed ill def keep photos and start a build thread if im confident enough. cheers for the link ill have a look now also any more advice info would be sweet cheers
 
Search my posts for my build thread I also done the same, it's a bit of a mission re-typing all that needs doing but I assure you it's all straightforward. make sure you get a good sprayer to match up the colours and the bodyshop is competent. Plenty of pictures and should be simple, that engine transplant on the other hand :ninja: that seems like it will take some doing.

Looking forward to some pics, lets see what it looks like all stripped out then! :)

Is this going to be a track machine? Why have you ripped out the whole interior is why I ask. Seems alot to do but wow..
Good luck..
