philbatesvr6 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 sweet,you will have to have a word with carl about getting a meet or some thing sorted for when its done mate, Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 sounds as good as I left it last april... if not better! lolstraight on in this picture onto the mk2 hangers... but as you can, see its quite far over to the right side... so carl has chopped off the hangers from the mk3 shell and has welded it on the mk2 shell, as you can see on page 14, it looks alright from the pics, but doest sit 100% central, but looks good enough, and 100x better than the first picture..couldn't justify spending even more money on a new exhaust, when i was keen to use most things from the mk3 and stuck on the mk2, including indicator stalks, steering wheel, mk3 vr6 shifter, vr6 wide track, mk3 column and steering wheel and even my old petrol tank! mostly all plug and play really...Pete Link to post Share on other sites

cadguy77 0 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Looking well Pete, glad it all coming together for ya.A mate of mine has just brought a MK2 16v with the view to convert to a VR6 transplant with MK3 widetrack. He's looking to get a rear end damaged MK3 VR. I mentioned you was just going through exactly this.Would you be so kind as to list EVERYTHING you took from the MK3 for the conversion?Cheers mate Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 that aint air in the tyres LMAO pete is there anythink you need to get that can't be got from a mk3, Or anythink that gets damaged in the process so it wont go back in my mk3?? Thinking of putting my mk3 in a mk2 untill ive finshed my mk3 shell then swap it all back over Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Ok... Here's a list of stuff I've put on the mk2 from the mk3, including other bits needed to complete my conversion.From the mk3:Petrol Tank (optional, just easier to replace it rather than messing about with fuel pumps, i'm lead to believe the 8v has a different pump than the 16v golf - not sure if anyone can confirm this?)Steering ColumnIgnition Barrel / key etc..Indicator Stalks Mk3 Steering Wheel Mk3 Gear Shift GatorMiltek Exhaust (with mk3 exhaust hangers chopped from my mk3)6 Branch ManifoldDe-cat pipeMk3 Brake Servomk3 samco's - 2 hoses not usedMk3 wide track - 5 stud wheel (will require new stretch bolts, front / rear)Mk3 PAS steering rack mk3 Eibach Front ARBMk3 Koni CoiloversMk3 Wheels (needs a slight bit of arch work, nothing a grinder cant sort on the front arches, I need 2 new ones anyway, so will be rolling them properly when I have it re-sprayed)Mk3 Brake SetupSubframe / Axle stretch boltsMk3 engine loom / fuseboxMk3 Floor MatsOther Parts:Corrado VR6 front cross-memberCorrado / Passat Peddle Box (for hydrolic clutch)Corrado VR6 twin fans + radiator Auxiliary Belt - I've now ditched the Air Con compressorReplaced due to damage etc..Vibra Technics rear engine mountGear Box Case and mountNew ClutchNew HT LeadsTop / Bottom Samco Hoses for Corrado VR6 radiatorSump needed welding upexhaust heat wrap Cant think of anything else at the moment, will add if I remember anything else Pete Link to post Share on other sites
