There ya go matey. Keep us posted if you do decide to press on with a project.

 

cheers mate got the vr lump just looking for something to put it in!

 

Ask Phat VR6 he's probably the most experience in this sort of thing.

 

Yes its possible to fit a VR6 Syncro into a MK2. I'd start off with a MK2 Syncro though as there is a lot of metal to be replaced if you want to convert from a 2WD car.


In UK, only 5 door MK2's were officially imported. 3 Door syncro's are all LHD (VW never made a RHD 3 door syncro MK2) so you have to import one.


So far as the conversion goes... you'll need a VR6 Syncro gearbox, transfer box and rear diff. These can be bought on Ebay.de. Search under VR6 Syncro Getriebe.


The rest you probably already know about fitting a VR6 motor to a MK2. I'd upgrade to wide track while you're doing all that.


Good luck.

Hi, is it possible to make a LHD 2 door syncro into a RHD 20vt syncro , ideally i wanted to keep my own mk2 shell and make it 4x4 but i bet that would cost a few quid, do you know anybody i can get a quote off ? thanks,
