I've done Syncro (no h) engine conversions, 2.5TDi, 7A 2.3 20v, 2.2 20v Turbo AAN, 2.8 30v ACK V6, 1.9TDi, 1.8 8v GTi, AEF and a few others I've forgotten.

The Bluestar isn't a Syncro but I will be converting it to 4WD but without Syncro parts.

I'll start pulling the engine out of it next week so the interior etc will be available from then.

The suspension, brakes, wheels and running gear (inc gearbox etc) will be available in a couple of weeks once the car is moved to Oxfordshire to pull it apart.

I can't wait to get the engine out and start matching it up to the new gearbox and into the Bluestar :)

I'll be taking the car over to Oxfordshire on Friday where I'll be breaking it... but once it's there I'll only be able to get over there now and again so if anyone wants anything, seats, coil overs, brakes, stereo etc etc then please let me know asap this week so that I can remove the parts and keep them in Gloucester.

And so it comes to this...

Incidentally, now that the front wings and sill trims are off, there is damage evident on the left front wing mounting front corner and the left front corner of the sill. It was obvious before seeing these that it had had a front left smash...
