1.8T was on the books, or a diesel PD engine, but he got a complete MK3 golf that failed its mot, needed some welding, for about £350 i think. So then he has everything possible, dash clocks, complete engine and gearbox, whole wiring loom, fuse box, ecu etc so the swap is made a lot easier, only need to fabricate one engine mount, and a hell of a lot cheaper, and still keeping the whole old skool theme, I'm sure he will give more info.
Trying to persuade him to shave and clean the whole engine bay too, but just not got the time at the moment, gotta chop the bay about a bit as it is. But I will keep on at him, as well as another caddy bed chopped into a trailer idea!
