Its a thought but I dont have enough time. Fairly sure nobody would buy a hdi that used to be a 1.8. Maybe Toms306 would enjoy a project though haha.
you maybe surprised, a few cars on here that used to be a gti now powered by a derv lump, could be a good one for tom, reshelling a stage one HDi,
if me and my dad can swop over running gears with in a day srowell, surely you could do this conversion. in fact it might be easier, with the 306.
Sams 1.8 shell isn't in the best condition tbh, lots of laquer peel etc so it wouldn't be worth using for a reshell. Though I may have the engine off him if I can find another DTurbo spec with a snapped cambelt.
