paul_c 1 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well I'm back, after 1½ years or so.....Basically, what happened was, after a lot of research, I really stumbled upon the issue of making the exhaust manifold, and with other wiring issues and my lack of experience, I decided to do a 2.0l 16V conversion on my Mk1 Golf instead. This took quite a long time, partly because I took on a lot of other 'general restoration' work of the front end, partly because it was done outdoors through winter time, and partly because I was a little unlucky with breaking some parts that shouldn't have broken!Anyway, its done now and I've used the car a little, its really great and I don't want to change around that car too much.But............I still have "the bug" to do something a little unusual or different, so yesterday, I drove 350 miles or so to collect this:I always wanted a silver one (the other one is black, I always wanted black but silver's my 2nd choice on colour) and I always wanted a VR6! So its going to be converted. Next on the shopping list is a crash damaged or MoT failure VR6 donor car, I figure its better seeking a complete car than constantly buying bits and pieces off eBay, etc.Mod Edit to Resize Pic.Moderator edit by: TheGoth Link to post Share on other sites
