Now that most of the show's have gone, its time for an engine swap .

Here's where i'am at, at the mo.

nice one lee, keep us posted bud.

bonus,u obviously didnt get messyman to take the pics for u! look forward to watching this one take shape,idea's for mine then init!!

what you swapping it with? anything interesting?

1.9 8v kjet from a gti i was gunna restore.
Have now fitted a kent cam and pulley to it.
Also an ashley 4 branch and audi 2.2 throttle body with matching WUR.
Spent today washing the bay of all the diesel oil then fitted new clutch and gearbox to the block.
Gotta weld a repair panel where the clutch cable goes through the firewall(all mk1's do it) then i can drop the engine in

Washed bay. Good thing bout diesel oil is they preserve the chassis lol!

Looking nice and clean dude

Lookin clean man
i wish i could get my engine out to clean it all would make it a lot easier

Just a little update.

I've now got the 1.9 mounted in and just needs all the ancillaries plumbing in to get her running .
Not done as much as you'd prob expect but i been mucking about with my shat rat caddy work truck lol!.
Hopefully i'll get her running in the next 2 weeks

Nice project mate, that bay looks pretty damn clean I have to say!

Update time again lol

well, i fitted the 1.9 8v in and had everything in other than the loom then....
I got offered my mates 16v donor car Think you know whats coming LOL!

Yep,pulled the 1.9 back out and sold off all the tuning goodies to fund the caddys new heart. Its bin bloody cold lately and working outside aint fun.
I now at the stage ready to pull the engine from the mk2, probs this weekend. Scrap the mk2 out the way then draw up my beloved caddy!!.
