Looks great Pal sits really well in there too! Did you just get the mounts or did you get the whole kit shalfs etc?

Got the stage 1 kit mate comes with the mounts and drive shafts and all bolts needed! Looks like a very well made kit engine sits in perfect 

so far this looks awesome!

i had no idea the conversion was so simple :s ive never seen these bolt on mounts!!

Reading this thread through with my cuppa' and biscuits beside me…

I'm amazed at the skills and talents of others, I'm completely jealous that you can do this and throw it together in your front yard??! This looks amazing, all the best with the build and I to, like many, look forward to seeing the finished product !

Cheers mate  

Just wish it would stop raining so i can crack on with it need to get the wiring loom in and sorted!

That's a fair bit of dosh but I've seen those eurowise kits and they do look very well made, justifies the cost!
 
Enjoy doing the wiring    Will all be worth it though!!

It's the fastest colour too!  

How did the suspension take the VR?  Was there a noticeable difference in height?

To be honest it doesn't look any lower than before  

looks great fella, red is the best colour for a mk1 and I have owned a few vr6's and that sound is the best vw have done. Great work mate.

Nice!  You always here stories of how a VR is too heavy to go into the front of a mk1.  All looking good so far!  

Rite im in the middle of fitting the wiring loom in and i want to use the mk1 clocks does anyone know how I can bypass the vss so I don't get the engine cut?

Spent all day fitting the loom 2day figuring out what I need and don't need f**ing nitemare I hate wiring




But on the plus side i found a radiator that fits

Looks like you're getting there James, hang-in I hate wiring too!

vss is easy if you have gti clocks, there should be a yellow/white wire in the back of the stereo, connect it to that

Wot do i connect to the clocks? The wires that that would go to the electronic speedo in the gearbox???

I take it that would then trick the ecu ?!

the vss doesnt take its signal from the gear box sender it takes it from the clocks

if you take the blue white wire coming from the ecu and connect it to the yellow white behind the stereo then will be the ecu happy

I don't seem to have a yellow & white wire! I have the dash out the car didn't have a stereo when I got it?!
