One for the Tizmeister... or anyone else that can help :)

Im thinking of selling my rado :( but i feel an sudden urge to do something my of my own, i can get hold of a mk2 van not tax nd mot but its very cheap and comes with a set of G60 steels and dropped 60mm

Ive got a few plans for it and one is a vr lump. I have no ideas one where about to shop for a whole engine and gearbox and so on and who would be the best person to fit it ready for it to be MOT'd

suggestions welcome guys

cheers

What year is the van mate and what engine does it have in it?

i thinks its a G reg and ive been told thats its suposidly got a 1.9 tdi engine but im not too sure on that mate

should be 90 spec style with the CE2 fusebox then so the VR wiring loom would be plug and play

Also you really NEED a complete running driving donor car mate cause there is a lot of parts you need and it causes big headaches and costs more in the long run to buy parts seperate.

They did'nt make a tdi mk2 van mate. They did a 1.9td run out model but that came later
Its prob a 1.6td, nevertheless, if its a 90spec model like tiz means, the loom will be plug and play as it'll have a mk3 style fuse panel

Its not the van up at rings end by any chance is it?

Yeh im not too sure on the whole history of the van just what ive been told, Yeh im hopefully going to start my own project and try different things. I think i can get a whole vr from my mate as she dinged it 2 years ago and has been sitting in a field since then

Erm yeh its the van at rings end mate that white and black one, the bloke has done a few bits of work on my rado and on my cousins polo, hes got a nice blue Mk1 Gti in his garden too

Last time i see that van, it looked like it was filled with sh1t and ready to be weighed in.

Yeh i think it is/was, but i just got to have a look at it, it does look a bit ratty but goes either way cant see a dub go to waste and its the first van ive seen.

I think there is a red mk2 5/3 door in wisbech that has a diesel engine in and from what i saw it looked fairly nippy, and had a quality sticker sayin Made in Germany Refined in Wisbech

put the VR in your rado you tool
