it sucks you had to do this to a 3door, i would have swapped you my 5 door...

Yeah, was a bit gutting. But the body would need a lot of work to get it back to stock. Major rust around gas tank flap etc. :-\

But this one dies for another to live... :angel:

Mk2 VR6 ;)

Some updated Pics, the guys have been real busy and the VR6 being totally stripped of anything needed and the the Mk2 stripped down too, ready for instalation the electrical components then mechanical (being the easier as Alan says)

Was quite buzzed at seeing the progress, as it gets closer and closer!
