1991 MK2 Golf Dirty Diesel & 6 speed box swap!

I keep meaning to put this up here, this will be a brief summary as to where it is today...

Firstly - This swap has been rolling around in my head for a while, originally it was going to be into a corrado but parts prices are silly and I couldn't find a clean one for the right money.

The idea was to use a Mk4 Golf PD150 engine & 6spd gearbox, to create and awesome diesel GT car, to do long trips in style and comfort.

Anyway, I ended up impulse purchasing this, straight away swapped my Nothelles onto it:



1.6TD Mk2, LHD, painted audi meteor grey.

Then chucked a set of Porsche handles on it:



Then spent a very cold January afternoon ripping this out of a MK4:





PD150 engine, 6 speed gearbox, looms, ECU.

It snowed not long after:



Collected parts:



Rear gearbox mount & front mount:





I was lucky that I found suppliers for all 3 engine mounts(eventually), as I wanted it to be a quick bolt in, not be messing around fabricating stuff...

Engine on its stand for rebuild:



Why rebuild? Well one, I have no idea how many miles this thing has done, and two, PD diesel engines like eating camshafts and followers, like so:



(one of my previous PD engines was MUCH worse than this)



Note, injectors IN the head, PDs are a wierd mechanical/electrical hybrid engine, where the injectors are cam driven but electronically controlled.



New things!



Putting back together:





Meanwhile a frined built my engine loom, plug and play into the MK2 fusebox, run the MK4 OEM ECU and OBD-II port
