my mk4 bolf on bentley wheels

here i have my mk4 golf which i have had for a while now but i brought it with some front damage (minor) and whilst fixing it i came across the engine and the crank had been broken.

i then had a look on the internet and a crank for a 1.4 was going to be impossible but i found a guy on the mk4 owners club and he sold me a mk5 golf 1.4 engine which was perfect and the car is now all fixed and done.

i had a clifford alarm on it but it had 2 b taken off as it kept messing up.

neway here are the pictures of how it stands now:







am now doing my interior and got my head lining up. here are the pictures i have so far.
let me know what u think:

nice

headlining is cool mate, shame about the tints and kebab gangster wheels though

i no i wanted sum bbs alloys but cudnt afford it soon goin on a cruise and that costs a bomb so these came up cheap and at the time i didnt have any wheels so they were betta than nuthin lol

that looks pretty cool how difficult was putting a mk5 1.4 into a mk4? was there a lot to change?

kebab gangster looks good rach just need some coilovers

wheels definately beat rolling on brake discs that for sure

or steelies like me

yes was pretty hard i had to change everything and only keep the block but i have sold most of the other parts on ebay and the gearbox didnt fit as the gear linkage was the wrong was round but i asked every body and noone new if the mk5 wud fit in the mk4 so i just brought it and tryed it.

but like i sed u have 2 change the sensors the starter motor alternator etc but the block was fine and that was all i needed anyway.

yer it beats drivin on nothing but yer i need 2 put coilovers on it as it looks like a 4x4 but i cnt afford them at the moment :(

well if you need the coilovers fitted when you get them just drop me a text

cheers lupton

dont think i will b gettin sum 4 a while tho no moneys :(

just brought some recaros for my car hopefully will be fitting them today depends if i can b bothered to b honest in this weather lol.

nice one Fella

yer i know i cant wait just waiting on the adaptors.

and they were a steal so im pretty pleased with myself.

got my recaros in now but will get some more pics up tomorrow when its light.

its really starting to come along. but still no coilovers so still looks like a 4x4

but im pleased with the outcome. any suggestions would be welcome.

new bora front end picked it up this morning and its not on the car. so here are some pics

nice mate, you wouldnt think it was a 1.4. areyou gonna get the cupra r splitter on the front? merc wheels will look sweet

well i did want one im just on the look out am doing things as and when i can afford them. but yer merc wheels are going on soon but am waiting 4 the adaptors but my mate is making them so its taking a while lol.

This is coming on well now. It looks so different with a new face!

wow looks just like my misses mk4 bolf but a different colour and more doors

Looking good, I have been toying with the idea of getting a 1.4 3dr but thought it would be bloody slow.. but then again it cant be any slower then my clio lol good work

tbh they are pretty slow compared to gti's etc but when im going down the dual carriage way i take over a few things takes abit of time to get up to speed but once up it goes pretty well.

its also i rele nice ride so it makes it worth the while.

ut i have found a couple of cars for u chris i will pm u them.

cheers buddy !

got my merc wheels on now heres some pics

At last you have got them on
They look much better. Youre not kebab gangster anymore
I think you should get rid of the mud guards
