nope, you can fit a MK3 in a Type 44 (5000,100,200 series). The procedure starts with removing hood, lower dash covers, ductwork....and removal concludes with withdrawing the complete heater assembly from the cowl area. Another 45 mins and you can get to the motor, then reassemble (using jigs for the doors). Fan motors are easy, cutoff wheel, 10 mins work and some acryclic adhesive and small tabs glued in. The factory way is to remove heater assembly, blah, blah.

If it weren't for the Quattro drivetrain (and 20+ lbs of boost) I'd of ditched it long ago, but there's something about a 150+mph 4 door family car that just appeals to me.

Doesn't sound much different from my car... except I don't need to remove the hood (it'd probably have been useful though...)

Oh try replacing some of the older american made cars. I had to gring the cover off in the engine compartment in several of them. Then of course you have to reweld or reattach then in some fashion.
Now the engineers piss me off when they make it so you have to get under the car or disconnect a motor mount to replace sparkplugs, I had a Chrysler that I had to do that on. To me making what should be a simple job almost impossible is the worst.

Well I guess I'm KINDA lucky...

Ah, like my Safari van, I remounted the wheel well liners with Dzus fasteners, easier to change the spark plugs that way.

I will take my big ass dodge truck any day of the week!

monkeykoder · Feb 26, 2009

I'd do anything to stay away from your big ass dodge truck...

Big Bully · Feb 26, 2009

Yeah it is kinda mean.. But damn sexy and fun to drive!

monkeykoder · Feb 26, 2009

Meh I like my cars small and agile.

Big Bully · Feb 26, 2009

I like mine big and beefy, and full of muscle!

Hey what can I say I like to know the road I like to be able to feel the needs of the road and respond to them. Be it a gentle curving road you can take slowly caressing the curves loving every detail take in the atmosphere make it a part of the moment enjoying the smooth supple nature of it calming me letting me abandon myself to it's nature and release my self to it, or be it a curvy mountain road DEMANDING my attention feeling the rush in my body as I speed through the corners pushing fast and hard every ounce of my energy going into the road responding to it's energy and chaos with my own knowing if I abandon myself here I am well and truly lost ultimately I will be drained but with that feeling of calm you only get when you have faced death and won.
