That is a serious dedication to smoothing when you fit an engine just because it looks smoother.

Tbh: what are engine and interior from? Trabant? Citroen? It's a Trabant engine not quite sure what the difference between a 601 and a 602 engine is but I think it's the same 600cc 2 cylinder 2 stroke 25bhp engine. I do agree the wheels don't seem to match the theme of the car that well, but I do love this just for the complete insanity of downgrading of fitting a Trabant engine into a Golf and the obvious level of skill and time that's gone into it. |

Yes I'm sure he have seen this car before, though I think it was a long time ago & I don't remember it having those wheels, but could be confused.
That glass smooth floor looks amazing... though I guess that also means a exhaust hanging low beneath it... which wouldn't last long.

Engine too lumpy and untidy looking? Astoundingly underpowered (for a typ 19 anyway) engine looks tidier? combine the two?
Hell Yeah!
Form over function ftw!

don't get the choice of motor TBH, i've seen MK2 VR6 engine bays just as smooth, only thing i can think of is it was to achieve the completely clean front floors, seems huge sacrafice though, amazed at those door cards (take it they are scratch made in fibreglass ?) but wondering why he did'nt base the build on a two door ? (less 1/4 lights, door handles) Admire the standard of work and conviction though  |

Yes it is a repost but I still love it. There is no 602 Trabant only a 601. Probably 602 because It's a MK 2 Golf.

I can see why Merc wheels have been used, all about extremes but I have to admit I don't like them one bit, wheels need dish

Did they make a Mk2 on a "K" plate?? Surely that is Mk3 territory?

been around for a while this one, I did a blog post on it when I was working for BBT (so at least 3 years ago), amazing craftsmanship, they'd gone so far as to smooth the interior to the same degree as the bay (i.e. no tunnel etc)
Nice to see what can be done when you think outside the usual box (says the man with a Mk1 on BBS RS's with a TT interior)
