Gents, I acquired an R32 VR6 motor this weekend. Now I need something to swap it into for a project. Thanks to Wade for helping me pick this up!

I'd rather not swap it into either of my Caddy's, and I've been thinking of a couple of ideas, but wanted to see what is out there for everyone else's ideas. I'd really like to have a hatch of some sort, MKII and up...GTI, Golf etc. There's no transmission either, and it needs alternator, flywheel/clutch etc. as well, so it'll need some donor engine accessory parts too.

What do you guys have out there for possible donors? Anything newer out there with a blown up motor?

Parts needed:

[*]VR6 MKIII engine mounts, rear and right side - NEED
[*]24v ECU/engine management - NEED
[*]VR6 exhaust - NEED
[*]Corrado G60 or B3 Passat Speedo Cable (mechanical cable) - NEED (maybe)
[*]Passenger side mirror - NEED
[*]Exterior passengers side trim, just in front of door on fender - NEED
[*]Glove box - NEED
[*]Ebrake light module in dash - NEED
[*]Corrado G60 or B3 Passat Speedo Cable (mechanical cable) - NEED (maybe)


If there's something I need to add or change, please chime in.

1. Cosmetics:
2. Interior mirror trip cap - FOUND
3. Driver side door card, handle and window crank - FOUND
4. Front H4 headlights, broken drivers side - FIXED
5. Passengers side fog light - FIXED

   Motor:

Going into this...

A Corrado?

nice score! I vote mk2 golf/mk3 golf. a bit much for mk1. Christian has a ginster vr6, you could sell the 12v and the trans would bolt up, hed probably cut you a deal and you could drive it home.

Ohhh, I think this idea may be a really good one. Pretty much turnkey as well.

That's a MKIII correct? I'll txt him

You get the ecu and loom too?

Engine harness, yes. ECU, no. So that I will need as well.

Put it back into an R32

But seriously I think a B3 Passat wagon would be a perfect donor.

Hahaha you find one and I'm putting it in!

B3 would be a good one too. Who has one with a bad VR6 motor and five lug/manual?

B3/B4 wagen!!!!! DO IT!!!!!!! Don't know if the BDF is the same accessories, but I have the ECU and bits if theyre compatible. Make you a smoking deal on a spare 24v motor.

I'm all over the B4 wagon idea, who knows where one is?
