engines out!
 cant seem to find vag part numbers on these so they must be ford stuff right?
need an engine now! might have a 95 2.0l (same set up as the gti) passat in a few weeks so hopefully get the engine and loom out of that and sell some bits off it to reclaim a bit of money back! that along with the ford and weber carbs on Ebay should see me pay for the passat!

i got a set now chap cheers!
look what just turned up..............................................
      basicallyto get my conversion started i need to fit the tourque converter to the engine, but there not designed to mate!
so the only way i could see after about an hour of staring at it, was to cut the middles out and swap em!
so take a clutch plate and cut out at 100mm centre, then when you have done that it needs a 2mm lip on it to locate the tourque converter plate which hs been machined to 96mm, then that fits snug in side. all i need to do now is rotate on the plate and weld it together
hopefully if i can get a nice smooth weld and a steady hand i cant see there'll be much imbalance to cause vibration when spinning?
once this is done i can offer up the autobox to the engine and get a measurment for the thickness of the adaptor plate to bolt this ensemble together!

Good work there rowlsey,keep it coming, getting back to your seat mod, am i right in thinkink you have grafted those onto the T3 runners, how does the seat hight work out, got a pair of comfy vento seats here and a few old van seats.
, much of a job?

na mate! as long as you make the seat bases off the new seats as tight of a fit to the t3 bases you'll be right! i had to trim the width of the t3 bases to stop em sticking out but thats about all! you can get the rear part touching and tack it in place then just move the front up and down according to personal taste!

I'd spin it up in a lathe if you can before fitting to check any out of balance. A small out of balance could cause a bit problem! ... think about wheels and what a difference a small weight makes. Keep up the good work!  |

well been to see the man in the machine shop and adaptor plate is taking shape! steel ring was ordered just before easter and things have been waylaid! shit happens i spose! gives me an opportunity to work hard - save money for doka and have nothing much to spend on at the moment! should be done in the next couple of days!!!! just selling off some of my toys as i had 4 cars and 2 bikes!!!! down to 2 cars and 2 bikes now with the husky going on ebay end of the week that'll be sold soon hopefully then i can start looking for a newer one and sell the drz! thats the plan anyway! just the doka landy and a new husky that should keep me happy for the time being!
doka........well after getting the ibiza and stripping it sold most of it off and making my money back thru the parts, im left with the abf 16v. now this puppie has an immobilizer built in with the ecu and i was thinking get it remapped to bypass it? seems to be a pain in the arse! and the fact that i binned the cat with the lamba probe in it!doh!! seems the engine needs the lamba otherwise it thinks its always in warm-up mode which runs the engine rich until up to temperature! eventually it'll just melt the rings like this!! note to self do homework before giving away your hard earned! so ive had a long hard think and have been out and bought this!.........................
  1994 2.0l vento gl! running it until the end of the week then its getting pulled apart mainly for the engine and associated parts needed to run in the bus and the rest will be scrapped and sold to regain some kind of initial outlay! must say it drives nice! and only covered 117k with service history until 109k its been quite well looked after! and for £200 withe the bonus of a brand new panasonic tuner cd player anything i get in return for parts will be a good result as far as im conserened!
i havent done a single thing to the doka since as ive been working a new job which includes weekends and spending time sorting other cars and stuff ready to sell em! but with any luck the bus will be rolling soon (self proppelled not pushed round the yard this time!) and this new purchase should see some activity with the bus again!!! really wana get it sorted now and go play!
more pics of bus up the weekend with any luck!

im interested to see how this fits, the inlet manifold on these should be better for clearence that the 1.8 golf gti lumps as they roll round more but the block is taller. at least with this lump you can run diesel hoses and it should look quite O.E |

well its gunna be sat upright pretty much as it is in the vento. i cant use the diesel bits on the autobox as i think it'll make life a little bit more awkward! i think i'll just have to extend the metering head pipe and maybe buy a induction kit so as to loose airbox? hopefully i wont have to cut any of the fire wall or rear-most panel! i really dont want this to look bodged up hence the machined adaptor!! we'll have a trial fit and make up the engine support bars and any other fabbing of parts needed then take it all back out and clean up the bay and engine and paint and polish stuff!
