miniman1969 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 sorry to sound dumb, so I can transfer the front subframe with all the suspension components provided I change the top mounts for the front struts? Probs just need to start ripping it apart tbh and comparing parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 i guess just take everything from the front half of the mk6, and bolt it to ur mk5. or pm supersport because he has done all this before, and is in the process of UNdoing it all right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniman1969 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm having a bit of difficulty taking that rear gearbox mount of the car, the bolt underneath is proving impossible to move! Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 been a while since I dealt with one but iirc the bolts an absolute awkward tw4t to get at with good leverage, think I smothered it in WD40(any penetrating fluid will do), left it for a day and used a short piece of scaffie pole on a decent ring spanner to carefully squeeze it into moving in the limited space.
