.if you read my post once more 
you’ll se my problem the problem is that the abs harness comes from the passengerside on the car, not on the drivers side as the passat (LHD)
anyways, took some pics today
this is where i left it yesterday
and this is pretty much where i left it today damn this car has a lot of wires
hopefully not many days until this finds its way down under the hood
oh yeah, theres a ****load of pics here: http://foto-garasjen.net/bilder/syncro/
many which is not posted but for your enjoyment, here they are 
did some more today, not much tho, only took out the abs unit not too much job
started the evening by emptying the brake reservoir using my good friend, the vakuum driven brake bleeder (genious tool)
when the reservoir was just about empty (can’t empty all if it it seems). then i removed the 3 nuts that secure the bracket for the abs unit (3 13mm from the inside of the car)
when that was done, i took the brake lines of (3 in total)
and then just pulled it out
oh yeah, and started to strip some of the interior too, need to remove the seats and the carpet, makes it soo much easier to run wires
heres the old abs unit
A really short day today, too tired from all the working these days
but, I managed to get the main engine harness out crappy job tho. cut myself when I pushed open the rubber seal though the body as well
so, been doing some more work today took the dash out preparing for a heatercore replacement (and making it easier to run the wires for the conversion)
anyhow, lets start with some pics of my garage (pretty messy one too)
this is “my” corner
and here is the corner for two of my friends who i share this garage with
and a small pic of the enginebay, which needs a good cleaning
heres the complete engine wiring harness for the 1P engine, totaly uncut and in good condition
and last photo of the day, interior carnage lol
engine is finally out
needs a lot of cleaning, and some rust-removing under the battery. and then the modifications for the new transmission with hydraulic clutch assembly
heres the old sucker, no one actually knows how far its been driven, but somwhere between 250 000 and 400 000km. but thats just a guess
i’ve also ordered a new cambelt and tensioner for the G60 engine better to be safe then sorry i guess
started something really boring today, cleaning the enginebay
didn’t finish, because i got bored. but, i’ll finish it one day
some pics too, one before and one after todays little work
well, took the K-frame from the golf of, just to clean it up, mount the passat servo unit and passat control-arms..
mounted it back together yesterday, but forgot to fit the swaybar (stupid me)
so, today, i was going to do this, mount the swaybar from the passat, but, that just does not fit, there is no way its going to fit using the Golf Frame and Passat arms. and the Golf swaybar wont fit with the passat arms..
so. what are people doing when they make the golf widetrack at the front?
heres some pics i took (i didn’t measure the passat vs the golf arms in lenght, but its obvious that the passat frame is wider)
heres the golf k-frame, with golf swaybar and passat controlarm and steering rack
and heres the kframe with the passat swaybar, as you can see, it just CAN’T fit
heres a closeup of on of the sides when the passat swaybar is on
heres the golf swaybar with passat control arm, does not line up, even tho that eye-bushing-tingy broke when i took it of the golf arms
Did some measuring on the front subframe today
Control arms side by side
The golf Control arms are 390mm long
The passat control arms are 415mm long
The Golf swaybar is 1130mm long
The passat swaybar is 1145mm long
So, it seems to me that using the passat controlarms with golf subframe and swaybar should work
the passat swaybar won’t fit
total width of subframe with the golf control arms is 1350mmish
total width of subframe with the passat control arms is 1385mmish
