Had a proper look round the car today to find all the problems and what needs changing for the new engine. The list is rather long. It needs (starting at the front):
Mechanical
Passat TDi Radiator
Manual Steering rack conversion
New Strut Top Mounts
Coilovers
Subframe
Wishbone Bushes
Bottom Ball joints
New front disks & pads
New Exhaust
Ajustable rear shocks
New rear disks & pads
Bodywork
New (hopefully fibreglass) bonnet
New Sills
New OS rear arch
B pillar repairs both sides
New rear bumper
Thats what I could see in general. Seems like a lot to do and would be cheaper to buy another, but they would probably need the same sort of stuff doing aswell.
