legvw 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 After fitting the seat in, i found the front of it was far too high.So it came out again and i modified the subframe.I cut the front 'tube' either side of the center runner, and sliced through the rear tube where that runner ends, so that i could lower the sbframe around this runner.Just filled in the gap with an off-cut of tube, weld it all up, then slap some paint on!Fits loads better now!

john555 0 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 hey mate hows it going im busy trying to find the mount that holds the gear selector cables the ones that are on top of the gear boxiv been to my local breakers twice and they are adiment that the only type you get bolts on to the box with two bolts and one into the side of the enginecan i just double check is the mount you used a standard r32 one? cheers bud Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah i've used the standard r32 1, its different to the s3/tt quattro so be careful.I can't remember but i think it bolts to the top of the box in 3 places (r32), and the s3/tt bolts on 2 places on the top of the box, and 1 on the side of the block.Can't check atm because i'm snowed in at home! I'l try looking at weekend to double check for you fella! Link to post Share on other sites

terrance_19 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wow! Great build thread, I'm pretty tired after Reading all 24 pages! Lol Ive got a question and it seems your the man to ask. I've got a mk3 vr6, is it difficult to fit the complete mk3 synchro 4x4 running gear to my vr6? I understand I'm gonna need a synchro boot floor. But apart from that is there much to do? I feel pretty stupid from getting a headache from my project after seeing your build thread! Link to post Share on other sites

I feel pretty stupid from getting a headache from my project after seeing your build thread![/quote']read though it all again mate Its ALL there... he hasn't changed the boot floor.. welded a plate in place of the spare wheel well and then used box section to build the subframe/ surport for the rear axal a diff... some mounting point are all ready there to keep it square and in the right place (as i understand it ?)just keep reading though it.. if you can't work out what to do from this guide your probaly going to have to get somone to do it for you.. or just spend along time learning.and yes as far as modifying cars go this is a hard/ big job Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think Paul is into 2 years on this project and he has the tools and fabricating skills to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yep, summed it up pretty well there bodge!If your using syncro stuff, make sure its from a vr6, gearbox and diff etc, subframe should bolt up to the chassis, just mod the floor pan, mount the prop etc. And cheers bungy :-) its been a long couple of years!

terrance_19 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Luckily for the car I won't be doing most of it, the old man's the mechanic. Just wanted some info to pass over to him make it as easy as possible. Just wanted to be sure before I fork out on synchro gear and realise it don't work then end up on eBay! Cheers guys Link to post Share on other sites
