Absolutely not! the tanks are also few & far between, breakers yards being non syncro owners don’t usually realize that the tank is different from the 2wd version & just scrap the whole thing.

Perhaps I should have phrased it better, in that you are more likely to find a tank than a neck.

As with all things Syncro being rare, rare becomes a relative term when applied to the Syncro market!

This is the easy part to find, as the filler neck usually gets left on the car which is then either crushed or shredded along with the Syncro Specific filler neck, the 2wd Golf 2 models all have a 1 piece tank which incorporates the filler neck.

I can’t wait to see it.

If you want to use the Golf 3 VR6 wishbone you will need the golf 3 VR6 mounting brackets as the side bearings are a different size to the golf 2, the golf 3 VR6 mounting brackets do bolt up to the body shell without any modifications though.

Have a look here, you may have to log in again though.

The wheel hub is the same for both drum & Disc, you will have to be creative with the drum brake cables

Or Angle cuts as well (if it has a turntable?)

[Chris S]

Its starting to look a lot better Danny

[Chris S]

You would probably have to get a bit creative with the inlet/exhaust pipework & the turbo mounting but it should all go in.
after all VW did make a Golf 3 Syncro Diesel I think?

If anyone is interested in doing a Diesel Syncro conversion, then I have a 020 (rodchange) gearbox which has had the diesel final drive fitted in place of the petrol one, so your diesel conversion will not be revving its guts out at 70 mph, the gearbox is a direct replacement for your original box & requires no modifications to fit.
please contact me for details

Front rubber donuts, I have not seen these available for quite a while!

Rear caliper carriers

but be aware that despite the asking price these do not appear to have the either the rubber ‘boots’ or the caliper mounting slider pins!

as shown here on a 2wd rear disc set up

btw you can use rear mk4 ally calipers with this set up (better braking force & the handbrake doesn’t seize up anywhere as easily

If he doesn’t, I may know someone who does have the manifold & downpipe & will ship to the States, but please give Conor a while to respond first.
