Hey there,I had a firenza while I was in the uk abaout 10 years ago. Was a bit of a shed, as I was sarving student at the time. Still managed to tube frame the front end with fiberglass wings a rover 3.5,13 x 6 front and 13 x 8 rear allycats. Looked cool but was a lot of work as the engine was so far back I had to move the steering and pedals. Managed 52/48% weight distributionfor my effort though. An inline engine would be much easier.By the way what would a complete 2.5 tdi for an Mtdi conversion go for, with and without a LT box? hard to find? might be of intereste for future endevors as a 1.9 seems weedy for a truck.Keep the pics of the project coming!Ryan
Man I wish we had that engine over here. It would just be the berries for so many different swaps. That and the 2.8TDI.Can't beat that price either! I paid $1200 for my 1.9 TDI!!!!Brendan
