I know it goes against the diesel grain, but I fancy having this in my car now. Jabba will wonder what the hell I've done when I book myself in there... AGAIN!

Not sure about the level of work needed but it looks like a fun project!

Jabba must rub their hands together in glee whenever you call them

Jason, go for it

One word of warning though, be careful who you buy from. Once bitten, twice shy etc etc

It will certainly be unique. The car in the pic is LHD and has the speedo in miles, so at a guess I would say its in america unfortunatly.

Seller location is stated as UK.......item location ditto.

What make you say it's LHD? The temp gauge in F?

Everything else looks RHD to my, granted, untrained eye. Could have been an EU import...?

But - that pic of the lower front end looks somewhat deformed, there appears to be glass fragements all over the carpets, there seems to be a radio-coding slip in the ashtray and why is the airbag light on? You don't need to flip the ignition to show mileage.....

Suggests front end smash. I know cars are pretty wel built these days to cope with transfering forces around the bodyshell in crash situations, but I'd still have serious niggles about that engine being TOTALLY sound.....

Just my two pen'neth.......

The pedal box looks like it's on the left, by the loom to the right of the picture (pretty sure that's behind the centre console), and the shape of the carpet. Also, the way the light source appears to be from the left of the picture, and the contortions that the photographer would've had to go through to get that picture with the passenger seat in the way...

Pretty hard to tell for sure though!

It's definetely LHD. If you're serious then PM me, I know of a salvage company that has just got rear ended Golf 1.8T in stock.

nah mate - not that serious, but something for the future I guess as well as the block and gearbox, I'd need the driveshafts, assuming they're the same dimensions? Also I guess the fuel pump/tank would need replacing too? I suppose the other thing would be a different instrument cluster and the ECU too.

Sounds nightmarish, dunnit? :(
