[burkedara]

Good luck with the build, should be a good'un! Will this be the first mk3 with a 3sgte?

Rogue did one methinks.

Yeah, rougue did one, and i have found a pic of another (from greece i think). There are most likely others too but there is very little information out there on the swap. That is hopefully going to change :thumbsup:

Good man gary, tis the TB way :thumbsup:

[Gary Symons]

Forgot to mention, i cant weld! so my dad is doing all of that for me :thumbsup:
This morning we got the gearbox engine mount fully fabbed & welded up. No pics till next weekend as I forgot my camera.

Nice one Gary, I am becoming slightly concerned that with all the fantastic builds that are likely to be ready for next years shows...no one will have a tent, food or booze at Japshow and JAE. Just really quick cars and a toothbrush. :whistle:

PS. thanks for putting the 'F' back in Freedom.

We'll have the van, which will take booze!

Then you have a 'cunning plan' as I don't believe for one minute that after your cars are completed you or Gary will arrive at a TB event in the van.

Yep, because A-Plan afforded us the priveledge of putting 4 people of my choice on the insurance to drive it :)

Nice one gary, good luck with this build.
I spoke to paul back in march about doing this to mine as i got an engine laid in garage.
Cant wait to see how things turn out.

I'm cheering you on with this one Gary, good on you for going for it.:thumbsup: I'm glad someone finally has brought this one out into view, where we can get a good look at it.
Handling wise, you'll be fine, a bit different to stock, yes, but still manageable and you'll get used to it. I have similar weight , probably and that's fine.
