chassis swop 89TD - 300TDI
« on: January 03, 2008, 15:20:50 »
Anyone had experience of putting a pre 300 TDI chassis in a 300 TDI vehicle, or 300 TDI engine in older chassis, is there any big problems with engine / gearbox mounts etc
cheers

you will have to cut off the old engine mounts then re weld onto new chassis
all other parts will be a direct swap

Get it galvanised. gonna be a good £70 at least to have it blasted. wont take long to patch up any holes, then galvanised for usually around £100.
