The one...

Nah, just got things to sort out personally. So I am thinking of letting everything go.

What you're building is very ambitious (and time consuming). Why not just put the 1.8t into the golf and keep it FWD instead of going all out to build AWD. The next one can be AWD.

Good evening boys and girls,

I am on the verge of buying some engine mounts etc for the Mk1...

But the place I am buying them from sells a complete engine and gearbox kit but says that the engine mounts will work if I have a 06A block...

Please do shed a light on this for me, does the APY have a 06A block. Not with the car currently. Will only get there by saterday...

Good to see you're gonna finish this thing! The block is an 06A block. 058 blocks where the early longitudinal 1.8ts found in the passats and a4s iirc

[Mk1@4Motion]

Thanks mate.

Tueasday/wednesday week I will be ordering my engine mounts for the 1.8T engine to fit into the golf.

Does anybody know where I can get reinforced or better than standard rubbers in Aus to fit into the mounts? Because the reinforced rubbers from the same guys costs just as much as the mounts I am buying.

[sports racer]

If you get desperate you can buy polyurethane rods and make your own inserts but there should be some UK suppliers that sell inserts.

[Mk1@4Motion]

Well, when I order the mounts I'd like to order inserts as well that way i can get them pressed in and get it done and ready for when the golf comes to my house.

[Mk1@4Motion]

Quick question, would it a bad thing if I use standard rubbers/inserts in the new mounts or is it better to use reinforced rubbers...

[Mk1@4Motion]

Want to charge me the same amount of mula for the inserts as the mounts itself and a different website has the same ones for half the price including postage...

Go to a boat shop
Ask them for the poly boat rollers for a trailer

Buy one or two and use a hole saw to cut the desired size then just put them in

[Mk1@4Motion]

Just paid for my mounts. Excited and can't wait to have them and atleast install the engine and start fabrication.


Hopefully they will be here by next weekend.

Can anyone tell me what welder I would need to be able to do body welds etc. I believe a MIG Welder is the way to go if I want to start welding body and chassis mounts etc.

Please shed a light on this for me.

[Mk1@4Motion]

And just irdered one of these combo's for me and dad to use at home...

[Mk1@4Motion]

And this I found on an Audi page on the web...
