ratbag 0 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I am after a donor VR6 to use in the conversion of my MK1 caddy. I'm after the complete car (which can be in any state i don't really mind) with a running engine under the bonnet. I'm located near Banbury in Oxfordshire. Anyone got anything for me? cheersMick Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Have you ever considered a MK 4, 4 motion conversion for your Caddy? Have a look here and see what you think of a possible donor car LINK Link to post Share on other sites
ratbag 0 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 That looks like a tidy motor but im thinking of sticking with a standard Mk3 or sharan vr6 as they are cheap and readily available. Then i want to mess about fitting a turbo at a later date when ive got it all plumbed in and running.But thanks for the offer Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 No worries, if you do want a 24 valve I have spare engine, I also have gearbox, sub frame and a few other bits and bobs, all have to go as I want to do something else in the new year. If I can't sell the MK4 as is I will be parting it out in the new year. Good luck with the Caddy. Link to post Share on other sites
ratbag 0 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Im really after the complete car so i can gauge where to install the engine mounts in the caddy and remove the wiring loom and other bits and bobs. Plus it would be good to have the engine running sweet before i remove it and begin the conversion. But thanks again Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 How much are you wanting to pay and are you willing to travel. Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I have a 5 door obd1 it needs some serious tlc on the bodywork after my last paint job went horribly wrong. The engine starts and runs although I think the battery has gone (will start with a boost pack). If your looking to eventually go turbo with it I also most of a turbo conversion and a obd swap sat in the garage. Link to post Share on other sites
ratbag 0 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I don't really want to pay any more than £400 and would rather not travel more than 80 miles. But how much are you asking for yours excluding the turbo gubbins? Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Not too sure what it would be worth to be honest just fed up of sat looking at it feeling sorry for itself. But I would want more than 400 to be honest. It also has coilovers k+n filter and de cat exhaust into a power flow mid section with a scorpion oval back box. And full black leather interior.
