How much did you pay for the Donor car and where/how did you source it? I'm interested as I have a similar project in mind.

 

so tacked in mk5 engine mounts , strengthened both mk2 legs plated on top and sides

had to modify pass side mount a nice bit but worked out well , trial fitted plant
welded in base plate for fuse box and main earth lug.
aiming for a factory look under the bonnet so will be fitting battery box , fuse box , air con pipes etc

 

im loading the pictures arseways , soon get the hang of it
next job , dog bone mount , then on to dash support panel and heater box
cheers for comments

 

Would you sell the steering wheel from the mk5 by any chance?

I like this, A proper project

There was a great read in PVW a few months back on how to get the TFSI engine to run correctly in a mk2, including what to do with the clocks, Whats needed and what not, It was the one with the guy from The Phirms's TFSI'd MK2 on the front cover, IIRC there is only a handful running properly in Europe, there is many being built but only a handful are running properly, Will be keeping an eye on this.

Best of luck.

 

plenty of help when i need it , 2.5 years old and he says his favourite car is a golf gti !!
