Deathcart Build thread

[CasuallyWreckless]

Since '07 when i first got into a vw, my first scirocco i've wanted one with a vr6 in it. So now that i have a good job i can finally afford to build one. Been planning for about a year now and the time has finally come. I do not expect this to be a fast pace build as i work 56 hrs plus a week and have a lot going on at the moment.
My intensions are to build a fun highway cruiser/ nice summer day car by no means a daily.
I will be using a eurowise stage 2 mount kit and their header.
plans are to do mild mods for now such as mk4 hg, 268 cams, mild porting, chip, will have a 3.94 ring and pinion with tdi 5th, ect. with out further delay i believe pics are in order!
THE VICTIM

THE DONAR

NOW THE DONAR WAS CUT UP AND PULLED EVERYTHINGS THIS PAST SUMMER

The past couple weeks in my spare time ive been sanding and fixing and lookin for rot, it will get a proper paint job and a mild shave and seam welds once motor is in and running. meaning yes, i am going to pull it back out and strip the car down.

[CasuallyWreckless]

As it sits as of now

While waiting for my gf to show up tonight to fix her cabrio, i began pullin the 1.8 tonight and the wiring was all cut and a rats nest, no wonder the battery kept draining




shoppe for kicks

^'91 jetta coupe obd1 vr6 next to it, going obd2 this summer.

Same place you can get a hacked up harness cluster****, po in Nazareth pa I'll have to snap a pic of the oil pan next time I go out.. That has a hugeeeeeee pumpkin siZe dent, front fenders are fuked too.... Have a driver just need the pass, doors are getting replaced as well they have the usual rot hole next to the handle

Cool build. I'm looking forward to seeing the EuroWise kit, looks like a really nice option.

[CasuallyWreckless]

That is all

[woody16v]

[CasuallyWreckless]

Came home to three wonderful packages tonight after work

[8716vrocco]

Very nice! Make sure to take pics of hood and ground clearance once the engine is installed to share with us, I heard the engine sits low and I would love to see how low it actually does

Make them yourself.. As light or as dark as you want. Just practice on a something else first

[CasuallyWreckless]

[GHOST 16V]

Awesome build! Subscribed Just wondering what are you planning to do as far as suspension?

[CasuallyWreckless]

right now it has springs on it but i have plans to call around to see what a custom mk1 spring rate coilover would cost me...off to the shoppe we'll see how i do today busy busy busy

[CasuallyWreckless]

Pretty happy with todays progress....started off by removing the power steering pump and ac compressor.

Then i put a spare trans on i have layin around until i can get the 3.94 outa my other car


put the rear mount on



The mount itself (poly bushing) hits the block kinda bothers me, but i cant really complain

ANDDDDDD THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!


oil pan clearence good enough for me

hood clearence

after all that fun i pulled the dash and disconnected all wires from fuse block moar to come tomorrow

[GHOST 16V]

[euro inc]

Awesome man . looking good!

Wet dream come true!

Nice! Where did you buy the mounts? This will be a col swap!

In for updates!

[CasuallyWreckless]

Eurowise, do not assume that that just takes the hard part out of the swap, there is still all the wiring, your clutch however you decide to do it, cooling system... My advice to anyone before they spend the money on the kit is to do lotssss of research on a mk1 vr6 and then decide if you are mechanically/electrically able yo move forward... This kit just makes it so you don't have yo hack up your mk1 as I was planning to do

that you are right, a local guy has a vr rocco, built when mk3's were still new. what a pain
in the ass he had with the cooling, and the shifter inside the car since he used the cable
shifter. But it is cool having a vr rocco. good luck with the build

Im pretty sure he ended up getting fk coils that were spring rated for a vr6 in a mk1,
I think from ngp.

[CasuallyWreckless]

well got most of the wiring run today, and after waiting just under three weeks for eurowise to hit me back with an email about the stg 2 crossmember NOT fitting due to a rocco being longer i began hacking it up to make my own 200$ part ill post pics tom

[CasuallyWreckless]

Allllll righttttt! sooo in the poast cpl weeks with work and my spare time ive been messing aroud with the wiring ordeal


thats how it's currently sitting andddd now for the "big deal"


i either have a faulty ign. switch or wired something incorrectly cause unless i hold the key a bit forward it shuts off... but fukkkkkk it it startssssss!!!! i'll fig it out!

[JCdubber]

[mr lee]

[JCdubber]

i am also curious as to what you had to modify to make the mount fit.

[CasuallyWreckless]

Works been crazy so not much progress, sorry guys I did get everything I needed for the cable clutch setup, and my cooling system jc, are you referring to the core support?
