1983 5 door 1.1 formel E resto and engine swap!
Picked some 100mm shafts and hubs up tonight so theyve now got all the mechanical bits they need to do the swap.
Il pop down Friday and see if there's any progress

Great work and thread
My New Year's resolutions are: 1. Stop making lists. B. Be more consistent. 7. Learn to count.

Collected a MINT late mk2 gti interior on my way to work today, front seats drop straight in, rears are gonna be donors and be used to retrim mk1 seat.
Hit the first of many problems, the 02j box I have has 108 mm drive flanges on it, not 100mm as I need. Does anyone have any ideas what box I need to take the flanges off that will fit my box but are 100mm??

well i picked up a centre console from a mk2 gti today so that should finish the interior off nicely when its done
also does anyone know if the gearbox from a mk2 16v gti has the correct 100mm drive flanges to swap into a 02j box?

Been in touch with the garage today and the engine is sat in!! just the hard stuff left to do now lol.
And for anyone thinking of converting a small block to a big block the mounts ARE different despite what some internet based numpties will have you believe. yes you can use the small block mount, but its pikey!
