Default Rebuild questions help(ANYBODY LOL)

After a serious amount of fab work the shell went to blaster .....and the wheel well don't look great had been dynamated at 1 point and Thot it looked ok but was wrong lol ..got donor 5 dr there but it seems different tow eye set up ...is the rst unique to them or is it cause it's a 5dr model ..


Next ...am ditching Mfi and going ofam ...question is as reading diff opinions and directions to go ...so how'd folk do there's ..my Mfi loom has been pretty hacked and botched over the years just like the rest ov the car so prob not a good base to start from .....have red you can use an efi loom from a mk4 3i/cabby etc and its good to go is this correct as found a guy on eBay advertising new looms or does it still need pin changes etc

If you're not already EFI then why go OFAM mate? A GEN8 (or MS2E) would be better as it comes with a new loom, I wouldn't use a 25 year old EFI loom if you don't have to mate.
