Well done that man! Are you going to bring it along to the annual meet? Would love to see it. +++

i'll have to see with work being so busy, i'll be going to the leopard at christmas if thats oaths year. I've been looking at the more technical side of the forum I'm afraid and neglected the social.

This is now officially the best video on YouTube, said the fellow D2 owner. Well done that man.

No hard feelings MJ? :-(

Not at all. Its a great achievement +++ Dave's conversion has required much more engineering than mine for the 0A3 gearbox, and we've both taken completely different routes to get a clutch pedal in there.

It is quite funny that there have been no RHD manuals for 23 years and then two come along within a couple of months of each other :ROFL: Three if you count the Irish TDI, which technically was the first we know of albeit quite strangely executed.

Jealous. ;)

How difficult was this again :Confused:
I'd love to do this conversion...
:pint::pint::pint::pint:
Should I...
:pint::pint::pint::pint::pint::pint:
Maybe I could...
:cheers:

Really interesting stuff. +++

It sounds like the two (or more?) main engineering leaders here should discuss the options and give an outline explanation for others of the choices made/available and factors applying to each.
