who done you engine conversion...yourself?

how much did it all cost you anyway?

really nice looking car btw... top job

engine conversion is being done at the phirm but I'm doing bits myself i painted the bay after new mounts were put in and stripped the engine down and painted it trying 2 get involved so i no how it was all done.as for price if i hadnt had the donar car it would have probably been as cheep 2 have a 20vt in there but theres something about being able 2 say its a 1.3.cheers for you are comments will update at the weekend

luke

Fair play... well it looks the nuts and has an engine to match. You gonna be at any meets/shows coz i'd love to this in the flesh

ill be at as many shows/meets as possible once I've finished the car.its going 2 have the interior finished when i get it bk from having the conversion done then I've gota do all the bodywork so probably wont see it till spring time.

luke

looking good that is, bet you can't wait to drive it!!

did u say you live in wantage?

my brother moved there last month, has a yellow vw t4, keep an eye out!!

cheers martin yeh I'm in wantage ill keep an eye out for your bro altho bein yellow probably wont have 2 concentrate 2much

absolutely amazing car, with the g in it it would be my perfect car, not a thing i would changed, good work!! I'm definately with you on g40ing it instead of puttin a big heavy 1.8 in! supercharged/1.3 - what an engine!

Does the g40 lump sit on the original engine mounts or do you have to have custom mounts made up?.

Are you using your standard driveshafts or are they custom one's.

Is it a hard conversion to do because i wouldnt pulling my 16v lump out of mine and doing a g40 swap?.

tommy

the drivers side mount is a custom made 1 a have used my 1.6 gear box casing with g40 internals so rear mount hasnt got 2 be changed and I'm using standard shafts probably will update in the not 2 distant future.

everyone else thanks for the comments just cant wait 2 get it back now and get them g smiles bk.god its bin along time

how hard was it to swap the engine? how much did it cost can i ask as i have the chance at getting a G40 engine and was wondering if you think it is a worth while swap?

Nice Nice NiCe GoOd WoRk!¬

how did u fit the gear surround, did u have to remove the original gear surround? did u screw holes through the gaitor aswell in order for it to be held down?

wots the ride like, was going to get similar set up for my suspension? like the car aswell mate

hi. I'm pretty new to the polo scene and think yours is one of the nicest iv seen. I'm actually looking at getting some of the ronal turbo wheels for mine but dont no what off set to go for. also thinking about lowering the car 60mm all round but dont no weather it will rub or am i best off lowering it 50mm like you. any help is good help in my eyes. do you have any other plans to do to yours next

Any updates mate?

were did u get those VW grills from? and how much and were did you get those leather seats from?

I've added a pic of the completed bay to the first post not the best but take some better ones tommorow.the sub grills were custom made buy a friend and the leather seats i bought from joe and got my door cards trimmed 2 match.cheers for the commments just needs the body work doing as its pretty ruff now but its a project it will all get there in the end.
