Nice car' date=' loving the colour!

If you dont mind me asking what crossmember and rad have you used?

Just need some advice as I'm about to do this conversion to my scirocco. Cheers

Thanks :-)

I'll get some pics of the install and PM them to you, whole thing has been a massive learning curve with alot of trial and error. Subframe was custom fabricated instead of relocating the mounts.

I will get the rest of the pics together and post them up, hopefully this will help anyone else who is thinking about doing the same

Some more pics, loads more to follow as I find them.

This is how the subframe was fabbed

Copied exactly from this

Had masses of problems with the CE1 fusebox, burning out of relays and eventually a whole track on the board ( this still needs sorting and replacing but has been bypassed for now)

Will keep updating as I crack on, Fell in love with the VR noise from the mk3 as soon as i drove one, but with the lump in a mk1 and a shorter exhaust the tone is simply amazing !

Tbh she drives fine with the coilies and I still have the battery in the front also. Plans are to relocate the battery to the boot but it's on the list along with alot more fettling and getting her to how I want her.

She aint no lightweight MK1 anymore with the lump and the front seats that weigh an absolute ton, but she is comfortable,quick and can still scare most things on the road :-)

Next most important thing to sort is the swan neck in the boot, as it seems to be letting fuel flow back up it and leaving a strong smell in the car.All being well she should be in a half decent state by B.V.F with the exception of the door handles that need refitting to the doors.
