4G Swap VW Rabbit

[interex]

I really hate the old ass Rabbits... I do on the other hand like the 94-98/99+ Golf. I personally have an MK3 which with it's 2.0L 5spd combo kicks so much ass. Hit a deer recently so still getting everything put back together... (accident pics below...)

The lighter color car is a 98 Suzuki X90 4x4. It has no power at all, and is a junky 1.6L on it's last leg.

Look guys, if someone can put a C5 vett drive train in a civic. I am sure this can be done. The question is do you have the funds and skill to do it.

, I saw an old ass Chevy Sprint (pre Metro) that had a 406 in it... And HotRod Magazine did a special about a Ford Fiesta with an Olds V8 in it.

Any progress? Or is this going to go the way of all to many other build threads?

WTF Jesus man, it has only been a few days. I don't know if you've ever taken one on but big builds take a shit load of work and time as well as careful planning. If the OP has a 40+ hour a week job like most of us he's doing great if he's even managed to strip the donor down for the parts by now. Just relax, be patient and be happy he's sharing this with us at all.

Since me and Chris regularly talk this is what he said a while ago.

"Well measured out it WILL all line up, fit, and swap with a shortend driveshaft

as well as careful planning.

Definitely the motto for this build. I'm making sure I double check, rethink, and redo everything before I even start trying to begin actual work.

 

[gingerbredman00]

did the work begin?

did the work begin?

Chris Procrastinates as much as I do. ;P

I miss that old Laser.... remember.. you caused an SUV to flip over on the highway infront of my house because of that thing.
