Just thought id let u guys in on a little project that has bin going, and also to thank the bestest guys ever for helping me out and doing the biggest part of the project toooooo!!

To start, i had a 1ltr manual choke B reg breadvan, in mars red... was pink wen i got it. I've had it for almost 4 years now, is my first car and have loved every min of it.. but now I'm more experienced at driving and have a need for 5 gears... i decided to buy a write off gt from our very own tom17.

Here it is

It was sat down the road in some old ladies drive for a few months, then she moved out and since then it has bin sat in my back garden, until one thursday i had a very very lovely clubpoloer turn up. The friday morning when i came home from uni, i found the gt engine already out and the mk3 was looking rather bare....

I will post all the pics so far and comment a bit on wots happening in them:

Mk2 bay b4 i pulled it out

after

GT engine now out

Bit of a tidy

The one and only HoppyGti hard at work (Richard)

New look mk2

Look who popped round!!! The sniper Phil

Its in!

Now what happened to the mk3??

oh and this small vid too

The engine has to come back out again coz my dad has to weld in a section of the bay from the mk3 to hold the servo, it is much needed as it just didnt want to stop lol

Also I'm gunna fit the front suspension from the mk3 and the dash, it is in but i havnt got a pic as yet, wanted it to be in all fitted coz the clocks n stuff are all hanging out still lol

And... while the engine is still out i will fit the g40 inlet manifold that i swapped for my gt wheels!!! chers for that Dave :-D

Massive massive thanks to Rich n Phil, this never would have happened if it wasnt for u 2.... and Rich for coming down the whole wknd and Phil for coming back tuesday to finish all the wiring off.... think Phil was chuft for all the effort after he took it down the road!!!! hahahaha

Will update as soon as I've got rid of some more cars :-D :-D

Nice one, but you should have keep the sill trims..

my dad wanted rid of the mk3 coz we are moving house and didnt want to keep lots of stuff hanging about, everything was out

and gone to the scrapy in 3 days, no time for pondering about things to keep and seel on I'm afraid

:nod: :nod:

w0000000000t...lookin spot on Kat

engine bay looks good after clenaing it mid swap!

wich it was simpe to just whip the engine out, as i would love to do it to mine so i can pimp it all up nice and easy!

Hops the legend!

How hard was all fuel injection wiring to do?

Looks like its gonna be reet fun

WHHEEYYY, its finally happened. better watch out now

Hops the legend!

What can I say????

Can't help myself!!!

In fairness, this will be a cracking little motor when the finer details are ironed out.

The Mk3 dash looks real good in place.

Engine mods FTW now!!!!!

^^ well done m8

Injection wiring was OK, just made full use of the donor loom. :-D

3 cheers for Hoppy :-D

Allways one to help out fellow poloers and yousaf

Whats the difference in power like Kat?

Christian, getting the engine out is easy

Its putting it all back thats a joke

hahaha...i bet it is think it will stop where it is and work around it!

love the chrome trim to the grille

Wots the difference?!?!?!

Apart from it will spin up to third gear is a massive improvment lol

Plus its just unreal, never thought my little car could move so quick and sound so beasty :-D

So to say youre pleased with the difference would be a total understatement?

Whip it out Christian, give it a good clean

richard hopwood the 3rd, the legend strikes again...

what did he get in return? a compilation mix cd?

what a sweet sight to come back to after uni, loads of people hard at work when youve down nowt , did you get stuck in as much as you could when you got back and learnt stuff along the way?

i wish i had the balls and the equipment to swap engines, well even if i coudl do that i wouldnt have the knowhow to get it all working again, its the splicing the looms that scare meeeee and just car leccy looms in general

Oohh this explains the 'new heart' =]! Looks good! Gonna be able to keep up now?
