Well, i dont have access to a mk4 golf estate, so thats out, and i merely wondered about the estate as that one is on ebay. I may just run the estate for a while, and see where my thoughts go. If anything comes up (engine wise) then you never know

Just randomly checking ebay, and found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2467085172&category=9873 Now, im no expert (or even anything close), but isnt that along the same lines as a golf estate? Ok it looks a little 'worn', well, rather battered more like, but still, it shows something like that is possible yes? Is that an original from the factory VR6 estate?

Yes indeed i noticed that one also. I'd imagine finding one like that, with either body damage or other non-engine damage would be the best idea. Seeing as the cheaper ones will most likely have high'ish mileage, i presume a rebuild etc would be worth doing whilst the engine is out, before it goes in the new vehicle...?

Cheers for the help.

Yes, but thats not what im asking. Say you were to retrieve the car for nothing, and could get the engine for about a grand or so, then i'd imagine that'd be a pretty good idea. It would certainly be one of a kind, and amusing to have an estate faster than alot of hot hatches. Anyone else?

Hello. I just had a quick idea, and wonder if it was feasable (and possibly even done before). How easily would a VR6 engine go in a mk3 golf estate? its currently a 1.9 TDI, but i just wondered if this sort of conversion was actually possible, and if so, what would be involved. Call me crazy, but its just an idea.
