Skoda forman geting new 1.9d

[rob w]

Finally after 6 years of getting it together, I started my engine swap into my skoda pickup. PD130 out of a fabia vrs. 

Job number 1. try and get it to fit in.

Well, a VR6 can go in there, and a 1.9D is a smaller engine.

I have been seeing a sweet caddy at santapod over the last few year with a vr6 and 4 motion. It looks fantastic, the guy did a great job and it runs 12s 1/4 miles. Thought about it but I like derv. I think they are going to get cheaper as fall from favour. If I can make it work awd comes in a later phase.

[rob w]

No it does not. Need to loose heating and breaks.
