don't want to see this go tbh

yeah id do that if i was you. i mean end of the day once the work is done its gunna be right isnt it.

nah, its not worth it, i can make a mk2 vr6 for less than what its gonna cost to save the vento shell, its a no brainer really. the arches are rotten as is the floor and rear quarter. its past saving.

sold the leather today and got myself another gti interior for 20quid for a mate.

taking the glove box and hand brake surround to its new home tomorrow, they are living on in icy's mk3 gti 16v as are the kamei air intakes

got smoked indicators for sale hella jobbies nobody fancy em?

coming to the end of reasons to post here.

Manzi is interested in the bootlid so he might be the coolest cat down his way with his functional rado wing

by friday i will have sold 1065 quids worth of stuff out the vento so its paid for a mk2 already. still have the engine box loom etc although the loom is stripped out and in the boot now. dash out carpets out, whole thing is looking sorry for itself. i feel sorry for it. ill take some pictures today when i go to strip the rear axle.

lookin like for 400quid the car owes me ive got a vr6 motor lump loom rear axle subframes driveshafts etc etc etc for a mk2 vr6 and widetrack conversion. not bad!! ill post up pictures if im allowed?

aww mate i dont even wana think about it. if manzi doesnt i will.

they boot lid will always remind us of your vento. as cool as it will be on my car, your vento will never be forgotten.

never looked but definetly was a sick ride...... too bad its all rotted out... i would of had it bought and shipped to the us....... all of it lol......... anyways R.I.P. Vento!!

i thought you were keeping the engine and box for something else ah well too late now as i went and bought a 2.0 8v think my missus would have really got upset if i had bought a vr6 engine

Shame m8,Good luck wi the mk2

aye im keeping the motor box loom and running gear

sorted a mk2 shell just need to go get it

I'm just about to drop a VR6 into a mk2 golf i've been given. The conversion itself is pretty straight forward, the only tricky bit is the wiring loom. If you have any diagrams or exeprience in this area it would be appreciated.

Depending on the results and the handling, I may even try a R32 motor in my Jetta. I'll see how the 9A stacks up against the VR.

awww that isnt even funny. what a sad sight

engine comes out tomorrow night

saturday i plan to get the steering rack and rear axle off,

then next week hopefuly get the mk2 and crack on with the conversion

oh yes, manzi has bought the bootlid, so that can come off the car tomorrow and be posted out.
