Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Nice to see the "Old School" techniques to modifying a car. No high tech here.

Why are you stripping the (road legal) grey car to put all the pieces into the blue one which also needs bodywork done?1978 MK1 2.0 16v http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...-46488-70.html

What's the chance of getting some info off you re the MK1 16v transplant? KR, 9a or ABF in the MK1? I'm particularly interested in the ignition setup you ran.
Cheers
