Yeah I admit to having a problem lol i have been buying parts to continue this engine swap. We're planning on going all out on the 81 so it'll be a long term project
Check out ultimate-engineering in the UK. He has a ton of really good tdi stuff including oil pan adaptor…!! Great work man. Looks really good!! What kind of intercooler are you trying to run? I’ve been going back and forth between air or water…at this point I’m planning on air because of simplicity
You did the mounts and everything custom? If so did you keep the mocks for the motor mounts and what not? Also why did you choose a tdi over something more common like a subbie?
Yeah I made all the mounts custom but you can make the oem diesel vanagon mounts work. I've done subi swaps but the tdis get more MPG and keep the VW purists at bay!
LOL My project is not done ... because, hey look I bought three other vans! - Can Relate! Cute kid!

Took me 5-ish years to do my TDI swap. Life gets in the way of the plans. I forget who said that.
