i'm gonna do it up so its a nice motor but i need advice.
firstly i need advice on fitting a mk5 rs2000 engine,
-what engine mount will i need?
-can i convert a rs2000 gearbox to fit a mk4?
-will a lsd fit in a mk5 gearbox?
-any other advice on fitting rads etc etc........
Just fit a CVH turbo of a Zetec 1800. Will be a hundred times easier. The I4 isnt impossible, but you'll need to get some special mounts mad up

Again, not impossible (nothing is
) but why do you need PAS on a Mk4? Even people running 17s dont bother

-de-handling with switches under mirrors
-de-side repeatering, using repeaters on mirrors.
Solenoids are your friends. Get some from
Maplin And some switches from various Ford breakers. Make linkages etc. This will be very easy in comparison to fitting different engines. So if in all honesty you cant do any of this, dont attempt the engines.

i will be doing most of the work myself.
Plain colous and smooth lines work best IMO. Airbrushing and 2 tones are just crap
