Seeing as there is no specific forum for my van I guess that's it's pretty close to an Ibiza so I've posted it in here. Hope it's all right..
I'm looking for any info on the van with regard to upgrading and modifying it.
I have a few ideas in mind, but before I go ahead and start them I want to know all the facts..
1). Engine conversion, currently it's running a 1.9sdi, I could do with a little more power so was thinking of doing an engine swap to a 130tdi lump, any ideas on whether this lump would drop straight in or not... Seen a tdi lump from a 2000-2004 Golf Mk3 that's reasonable, wondering if that would do the job or would I have to look a Ibiza lump to fit straight in.
2). Rear drum conversion.. Is it possible to convert the rear drums to discs. If so where's there best place to source the bits???
3). Lowering.. Currently she is riding a little high to say the least so I need to drop her down a little, not by much only about 30mm, but being rear axle beam and leaf springs, how do i go about this..
4). Front brakes.. With increased power I will be needing to upgrade the front discs. Seen a few threads on here talking about Mk2 G60 brakes going on, but not sure if what I read was true..
5). Finally.... Cosmetic mods... The front to me looks like a polo 4 or Ibiza, am I right in guessing this or not.... Interior wise what seats / door cards etc.. will drop straight in??
Sorry for all the question, but daring to be different, there's limited to no info on my good old van.. Oh sorry, by the way she is a V reg from 2000.
Cheers in advance for any info that you guys can supply me with.
