Paul1982 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Its one of the ones i sent you on page 2 - It doesnt have Climatronic and there is no mileage shown so i bet its dont over 130k. Selling the engine alone out of the 75k miler will pay for any damage on the car and you'll have the RARE climatronic that way!! Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 The mk1 Audi A3 never had a V6 option, so a suitable subframe wouldn't be available for a straight fit. Nice idea though!Fitting the running gear to a mk4 Polo would also make for a very quick car, but the Polo's looks aren't to everyone's tastes.If I was you, I would definitely go for a mulberry highline, even if it means having to get your Polo handles etc resprayed.

antera309 3 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 You should have a word with someone that goes to insurance disposal auctions. A stolen/recovered Highline that's had the seats stripped out of it would be ideal. Once you've sold off the surplus engine it would work out very, very cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
