My Swift Conversion, GS to GTI

Tue Jul 20, 2010 8:23 pm by ADAM

Hi all, as some of you already know, i started a conversion from a 1992 Mk2 Phase 2 GS to a GTI using a 1992 Mk2 Phase 2 GTI as a doner car. Both white fortunately.

The GS was my bro's first car and then my first car when he bought a black GTI.

I then bought a 2006 Navara Pick - up as my daily car and kept the swift as a bit of fun / second car.

I then got bored of no practical on my Motorsports engineering course at uni and decided to convert the swift to a GTI. It took a while due to having to do it on my drive at uni so the weather got in the way and then the coursework and exams sat in the way. But its all done now bar a few niggles and with thanks to Andy for the help on certain parts.

Here are some pics.

The GS as my First car.




Collecting the Donor car, I knew my truck would come in handy for the project Very Happy

The Doner car to get taken away by the very persistant scrap metal geezers


Unfortanetly no pics of me changing the chassis loom as i, well, forgot, apart from photos of the different connections all labled up. No photos swaping all the brakes over either.

And no photos of the finished car yet becasue i havnt taken em, will do that tomoz.

Sorry for all the pics and story at the beginning.

Cheers
ADAM
