Excellent project! Any idea how difficult the original conversion was to do? Also, is you speedo reading correctly with those skinny tyres? My Mk4 PD150 engine would be sort of fun in my Mk2 shell, but I don't think I could bring myself to do it!

Mechanical pump 1.9TDI (what this has) and the PD 1.9TDI conversion is quite straight forward, 2.0 PD/CR not so easy, speedo is about 5mph out.

I've got some 16" Ibiza Cupra wheels to go on it this week as G60's are buckled. Hoping to add central locking back to it and also maybe.. reversing sensors.
