VolksWagen Golf Mk3 RWD Race Car Volvo T5 Engine Swap Project

First you take a discarded Golf MKIII and start tearing it apart. When you’re left with a bare shell it’s time to test fit some of the parts. The owner opted to go wide-body. Then it’s time to start fabricating. As you can see there is not much left of the original shell. The rear has been completely gutted. The entire rear floor has been removed and the original strut towers are nowhere to be seen, having been replaced by custom made towers. The original sheet metal has been cut away to accommodate the new tubs. This shot also shows the extent of work that has been done to the rear half of the car. All that work has been done to convert the car from a FWD layout to a RWD layout. The rear axle is in place together with the Watt’s linkage. After the axle was in place and all linkages connected it was time to cover it up. The original firewall has been replaced to make room for the new motor and transmission. The owner has also had to rework the steering column to make way for… …A turbocharged five cylinder Volvo motor. This type of engine is very popular in Scandinavia and you will find many platforms powered by this very same engine.
