The other VW **update engine is out**

Bought this little baby as an unfinished project.
Few of you would have seen it posted on here aswell.
Basically fitted with a G60 lump but the last owner got messed around so much with the conversion that he eventually gave up.
Anyway plans are to pull the engine out and put it into my mk1 golf and fit the old engine back in.
I'm sure some of you might recognise it as was featured in a few mags back in the day.
Here are some piccys hope you like

Very nice!

like this one no rear spoiler to spoil it

whats the probs with the g

bassically the belt tensioner is wedged tight against the chassis rail.
needs the wiring doing,pipework doing.
Will be alot easier to pull the engine out and refit the old 1.8 carb engine

sounds it mate dont you fancy 16v

nice to see the rocco will be back on the road... shame that dunk got messed about so much. love the wheels on the motor as well..so want them!! lol

Always liked this Rocco. Like Jez said, the back end rocks without the spoiler.

Be good to see it up and running

Saw this on either ebay/edition. It was a baaaargain!

saw the car close up when the previous owner had it , its great .think you will finish her a treat gonna be good me feels

yeah dunk was gutted to sell it but he had been messed around so much it was doing his head in.
saw you today mr garf on tritton road around 1pm

yeah we were off to Debenhams shopping

Nice Rocco by the way

Well weather wasn't too bad today so had spent a quick hour on the Rocco.
Bassically the engine is now ready to come out again :muhaha:
The car was never going to run with what the garage had done to it all they had really done was got it bolted in place nothing was connected and what little was connected up was all wrong
Anyway all i have to do now is get the engine crane out and lift the old girl out
some progress piccys
As it was before i started

The offending fanbelt adjuster that was touching on the chassis rail.what they had done wrong was weld the engine mount too low and the engine was on the p**S :wall:

Removed all the charger pipes fanbelt all the dodgy wiring,pipes they had cut for no reason,coil few other bits and bobs.
Unbolted downpipe and driveshafts


was left with a big pile of junk

Should be out next weekend and old engine back in place when i have the crane back at mine

Don't know who's it is but i've spotted it around north hykeham area a couple of times,looks nice

I still have the mk1 thats my daily driver the G60 engine is going into the mk1
The passat belongs to a lad who owns the valeting company near lincoln vw specialists i beleive.

Got on with a load more today took charger off,charger bracket and alternator.shafts and downpipe and hey hoo dropped the engine out the old fashioned way lowered it down with the trolley jack




also thought the engine was standard but looks like it has a jabba stage 2 charger on it so a little bonus.

Just got to clean it all up now,change some gaskets and do the crank oil seals.also going to swap the 16v servo and TSR 280mm brake conversion onto my MK1 and then it's time for the old engine to go back in.

cool paul looks like a good set up

looking good dude
