Matts MK4 GL Respray & VR6 Conversion

[MCiN7]

Decided that I will be putting the VR6 in straight away, but to source another head to do work on.

Had some time to start stripping the Bora

[Water Boy]

Yeah boy!

[dylan8]

going to do the best skids.

[SLAJ]

This is gonna be awesome

[MCiN7]

Won't be needing this


Interior swap - steering wheel, handbrake and a-pillars to be completed


Hoping I can get the engine + gearbox out this weekend

[MCiN7]

Got the engine/gearbox, gearbox linkages and clutch pedal/lines out over the weekend.
One driveshaft has split an inner CV boot but it was not clunky when driving so a new boot should do the trick.

I've always wished they sold the VR6 Mk4 in Aus, a pipe-dream of mine is to swap a V6 into mine, so glad to see someone actually doing it. Is the V6 coming from a local 4motion? Gonna watch this with interest, keep up the good work!

Engine is out of my Bora. It had 135,000kms on it before being removed.

Is there anyone out there who could offer advice with what engine parts I'm going to need? Or etka diagram references?
I can provide pictures of everything I've got

[MCiN7]

Got some time today to start cleaning things, awaiting ECS order for new thermostat housings, etc. before assembling.
I expect to take the Golf off the road sometime within the next few weeks.
