Rear wheel drive golf mk2

Hi, what is the best and most cost effective way to make mk2 golf rear wheel drive. Is there any threads that will tell me how to do it as well. thanks, nick

 

Cost effective & RWD Golf don't usualy go hand in hand.

 

Buy a Mk2 Golf Syncro mate!!! And you'll have a 4x4 mk2 then

 

Turn engine sideways, make bespoke mounts
Find a F*rd gearbox
Make a bespoke bellhousing
Decide on clutch and flywheel type, to cater for F*rd gearbox spline, but VW flywheel
Make bespoke exhaust manifold
Make a bespoke propshaft

Then either:

- graft in synco rear suspension and diff
- or get a F*rd solid rear axle and graft in rear spring hangars, panhard rod, and possibly 4-link boxes

Buy aspirin.

Not a simple job

 

I am probably missing the point but go and buy a 318is e30 bmw

 

theres a 600hp vr6t rwd mk1 in europe which uses a e36 m3 gearbox iirc, might all be completely custom thou.

gearbox wise you could use the audi 80 g'box

 

no, buy a bm
