M15 VW 0 Posted January 24, 2007 we have taken a 1.8 8v single point injection mk3 golf estate, put a corrado 2.9 engine and box in it and used the corrado loom, brake set up and converted the rear beam to discs. Also used mk3 vr6 clocks, rad and slam panel. It has a vento front end on it. Also got a mk3 vr6 beige leather interior for it and have put a side exit zorst on it. Oh and its running on 3 piece schmidt modern lines (5 stud).....the rears are et 8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M15 VW 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Still a work in progress so please dont pick at it and point out the obvious. Here are a few pics of how it arrived and how it is now. The beige leather interior went in today and the smoked side repeaters also went on...... http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h281/ ... MG1488.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h281/ ...

CazzaVR 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Looking good- think the front end really works. Doesn't sound too bad either! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted January 25, 2007 Hehe.. must have surprised a few motors out there with the VR engine when it was looking rather standard outside! Is this a long term project then or something you're not planning on keeping for long? Certainly looking forward to following its progress though! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
