Keeping the lockers for the 4x4 mid engine version. Have an old s8 4.2 for it also. Need to find the hens teeth rare rare flywheel for it. Could get a TTV one I suppose. Same with the flywheel! Be nice if a company brought out a single mass conversion kit that wasn’t too expensive as the manual later V8’s are duals! I know someone else who’s looking at the TTV option, expensive tho.. I’m told Germany (eBay) is a good source, but, I’m yet to find a 10 bolt version Try looking at a 3,0v6 tdi flywheel, there are 10 bolt versions of these. They might fit. They are dualmass but also have a very strong clutch. I'm also looking for a good cheap flywheel for my 32v S8 engine but i have to finish my current project first.

Check bmw propshafts. At the diff side there usually is an cv joint. I had an E39 528i and the cv joint was not very big.
Also audi quattro models use smaller sizes in their propshafts.

There are at least three different bellhousing types for the r25/28 gearbox. One for the old CIH engines, like the 2.4 8v and the 2.6/3.0 12/24v inline 6 cilinder. Next one is for the (D)OHC range of engines. These also fit the modern v6 engines and the Saab engines. The diesel one is also unique as it is used on the bmw tds engine and as such uses a bmw pattern.

Wiper motor most likely has 4 wires. Ground, 12v on ignition, 12v for slow speed and 12v for high speed.
For intermittent you need a relais and that wires into the low speed 12v.
Hope this helps.

There's a guy over here that builds and sells audi sport quattro replica's. He has build some really nice stuff.
For a pike's peak replica they scanned a cast iron 5 cilinder engine block and had that CNC milled from billet aluminium. Quite impressive to see. I bet the invoice was impressive too...

You can also use the alfa 75 callipers. If the 75 has 5 lug suspension (twin spark, turbo or v6) it will have aluminium 2 pot brembo callipers up front. Those are an exact match for the Volvo callipers sizewise.
Volvo 240 callipers are cast iron and heavy. They're also available in a solid disc variant so watch out which one you buy.. They've got a double brakeline connection going on as well.

Old pic of the jetta we build and went to the rdw with. From 1.3 petrol fwd to 3.0 Td rwd. 177bhp on the registration now. Om606 with 8mm pump, hx40 and getrag 265. 400+bhp now. Pic is from when it was just finished. Later it got a pink rollcage some stickers and bigger wheels. I liked this look better.

You must be careful with what you tell them. Most of these guys are not really into old cars and they simply don't have the knowledge of how it should look like originally. I'm going to swap the entire floor from a bmw in. Neatly welded at the edges and looking OEM they will hardly look at it.
Build it neat and you can get away with a lot of stuff.
Me and my friends have taken more then a dozen cars to the rdw for engine swaps and newer had problems. Including two cars that were swapped from fwd to rwd at the same time.
I started cutting up a 523i today for it's floorpan. Will try to post a pic of it.

Dvla is not an issue since i'm Dutch. ;-) Our rules are not very clear so we can get away with more stuff. As long if you document every small detail and have receipts of EVERYTHING and all the logbooks of all he cars used and in your name, and you pass the safetytests in Lelystad. Then your good to go. I did it , an it took a while , but I passed. Making a fiat 600 into a convertible We build a jetta mk1 with Mercedes om606 engine and rwd conversion. Went to rdw for the engineswap and half an hour and sixty euros later we got the ok. Fully legal now.

One of my mates is building a Volvo c70 coupe driftcar..
He is using a complete bmw 1 series floorpan and suspension and stuff. Wheelbase is equal and even the width of the floorpan is dead on.
I'll try to place some pics from it.

I want to build my own unibody with the gtv top and E39 floor section. Alfa didn't evolve with it's rwd platform after the eighties so i looked at brands that did. E39 is nice handling car with very good rear axle.

Hello,
Can you guys help me find more projects where the complete floor with suspension etc. Is swapped into another car?
Links to these projects would be greatly appreciated.
I have a combination with an alfa alfetta gtv, a bmw E39 and an audi V8 engine in my head..
Give me inspiration please!
Greetings Remco

Small handle on the underside on the left side handlebar needs to be pulled when starting.
Running alongside with the puch and pulling the handle should also start it.
I could start my old one with a long belt that i wound around the flywheel and pulled...

It seems you're not allowed to pay for a car in cash.that is illegal. Has something to do with battling money laundry i think.

How about redrilling the hubs or halfshafts? Should be quite easy since you can use one original hole and the other won't interfere with eachother.
