Fitting the Mk7 front end will be a bitch from what I remember. All the inner wings and the bulkhead and scuttle is different from memory. I've not done a Mk6 to Mk7 conversion but I did see one converted and the person who did it said it was a right pain to do.
yep inner wings need to be changed, as does most of the metalwork from the bulkhead forwards. can get away with using my scuttle panel.

If the renault/vauxhall has a 6speed box you will have fun changing the clutch when it nacks up.I did one the other week what a bastard lol.

It looks well on them wheels.

Completely forgot about this thread. Funnily enough it came up on a google search.

Van never got "finished" as I decided it wasn't worth pumping loads of money into something of that age and mileage.

I have however, replaced it with a 130 bhp mk7 which has just had an engine rebuild so will be going off for a remap as soon as i have sorted out a rear door and side door

When i got it from a guy who has a unit next doorName:  SAM_0294_zps391f8c07.jpg

Have also got a sport kit to go on and a few other bits so should look quite smart once it's all done

Should see some people's reactions when I overtake them up a hill haha. Pulls really well up until around 80 which is more than enough for our roads.
