Re: my mk4 1.25 16V needs help
It all depends on how much time is devoted to it mate, if its only getting a few hours a week, then it will take months. If its getting every spare moment spent on it, then it could be done in a few weeks.
As far as im aware, the chassis leg and inner wind need cutting and boxing, with new mounts welded in.
Im not sure as ive never researched this, but ith 4k, you could definately produce something special

Are we talking a 2ltr Zetec-E? or a 2ltr Duratec?
Duratec is what pumaspeed / build will do, but seems to take over 6 months!
You'll also need to find somewhere that will make you some custom engine and gearbox mounts.
