PD130 and 6 speed box from a Seat Ibiza with just 1735 miles.

Arches brought out 3" each side and back axal widened 2" each side with 1" adapters for Merc rims.

Sorry the pics aint great.This is a quick rundown of whats done so far.

Complete engine,box,loom,ecu and clocks fitted from doner car.
Peddle box from Seat to work fly by wire trottle and clutch,
Home made 2" stainless exhaust system.
K&N induction kit with s/s intake pipe,
Mk3 tdi intercooler with s/s pipes and Samco hoses,
Mk4 Pd150 diesel cooler,
mk3 vr6 fuel pump in tank,
shortened mk2 drive shafts with g6o CV joints and adaptors to fit 6 speed box.

I used the two Seat engine mounts on the chassis legs and welded a section of
a mk4 subframe into my mk3 subframe to take a mk4 gti dogleg mount at the back.
The left chassis leg had to be chopped and remade around the huge gearbox for more
clearance.

Lovely car dave are you doing all the work your self?

 

[daveb]

Sounds like it'll be the business Dave. Well Done........ just don't go showing me up with that engine!

 

[Dieseldave]

I did all the work except the arches.
Engine is out again to smooth the engine bay,battry is in the boot
now and the loom and fuel lines are run through the chassis legs.

Prob go with TT nimbus grey for that euro look.

 

[ronan]

you would need a TT filler cap and dashbord to make that colour work!

Saw this car in the flesh myself and it looks class, I love those Merc rims! Best of luck with it Dave.
