Sorry, I didn't explain it properly. With the Pinto & adapterplate fitted together, what VW will it fit in?

Ok, I've got a T25 (was a 2.1 VW watercooled), but the previous owner put an adapter plate on & married up a 1.6 Ford diesel. Not sure what the box is, but it's a 4 speed. Will that adapter plate fit on anything else, VW-wise? I've now got a fully rebuild 2.1 Pinto to go with it & I'm intere...

I've cobbled one together from a bug headliner bow and a couple of electrical crimp terminals, but it's not going to hold for long

I'm about to do ours and I'm going to use flush fit LEDs, like the packs of 10 stainless ones that the likes of B&Q sell

I've got a window in the sliding door, two sun roofs and it's a walk through, so it won't be too dark inside. Sod the bank manager, more like "does my wife know how much this is going to cost?" :wink: Actually, I'm very handy, so I'll be doing the build myself & I can get most of the m...
