After seeking some advice on it I think I will be going bigger on the engine front, maybe a VR6 or something. Still not sure but by all accounts it won't take long for the weight of a Doka to kill off a mk2 gti engine.

I was told the golf gti engine is fairly simple once you have the bits. I am quite handy and have back up if required and I'm selling my 1.9l petrol engine to fund the new engine, my engine is perfect so I should get good money for it.

Thanks all, I think I am going to give it a go. Clearly it can be done....so why not me
I have a donor bus that has had a nasty side shunt, some welding and it's job done

I am really sorry for being an idiot, I have just made the jump across to T25's from Mk1 Golf's and was wondering if I can convert a Doka crew cab to a Syncro? And if so how much grief is it?
