Hi,

 

I have just recentely got my old Z back off my brother he dosent want it anymore and said said I could have it back for £150 lol so I couldnt resist.

 

The body work is good, hardley no rust just needs a spray as the paint work is dull and a few little scratches ect.

 

It is a n/a auto at the minute and sure this question has been asked several times but here I go lol, Is it a simple swap, are the engine mounts ect the same or is welding needed. also is the wiring loom the same or do I need a TT one? I know the ecu will be different, will I have to change the front bit of the prop or the whole thing?

 

I know a na auto box wont last five minutes so hopefully will convert to manual.

 

I know it wont be cheap and could go out and buy a TT for the same money but the shell is good and I like a project.

 

Thanks for the help in advance,

 

Mark

I think you have answered your own question. You would be better getting a good tt and spending your time on that.

if you could buy a rusty tt manual it would be well worth it, as far as i know the only bits on the body are the lower rad mounts which need moving out a bit.

i cant see its going to be much harder than changing an engine. you would need all the intercooler pipes and mountings etc but they would come with a donor. if you have just the engine and box, i have all the pipes. lots of people will be able to take photos the show where all the bits go.

 

or just stick a v8 in it

There is a heck of a lot more to changing to a TT setup than meets the eye. If I was contemplating doing this I would first have a chat with Mark (Topless on here) as he's done it to his NA convertible. Then I'd speak to the likes of Jeff (Zedworld) and Mike (MJP) to get a better idea of what all the components are going to cost ... and it's likely to be thousands. Once you've got your eye on a budget, add a big contingency fund because you'll need it.

Long story short, you're better off buying a decent TT and spend money on getting it perfect.

Thanks for the reply's guys.
