Default Helpppppppppppp :)

Hi all, I'm new been browsing the forum now for over a year looking at the projects and reading upon other threads.


Right i have a MK4 Van so the following questions are
Do MK3 clocks fit in MK4?
Are electric windows plug and play? as i have the fuse and relay optional in the fuse box
Is there anywhere or anyone that is selling 1.8D clocks with rev counter? now i know they're rare as hens teeth to find but i know the rs turbo ones don't as the resister is different

that is all thank you very much.
cheers, Kyle

Mk3 to Mk4 clocks are not a straight forward fit. Windows should be plug n play as far as I know. Good luck with the van project.

Cheers for the fast response, im only 18 so its my first project, very solid indeed, was thinking a MK3 Dash isn't that a straight fit as its the same van just with a facelift?
just a couple of pictures

i know the lights are a mess they are cracked and need new one, anyway just wanted to see what they look like tinted, maybe lighter next time haha


The usual spots


rougher than a bears arse


In primer, should of masked better up but its going mercury grey soon


the lump

yes mk3 dash will fit fine, you will have to splice mk3 plugs in
you will also need plugs for the mk3 switchgear you use

not on the vans they dont
it isnt like a mk2 axle where you can flip it as there isnt any location
get a properly de cambered leafspring

You have to grind the mounts off turn the axle so it's facing up and weld on them back on the new points same as mk5/6 vans
