Cool, is it just a 172 engine or do you have more bits?

 

[edde]

I love these conversions.
Did you do it yourself or is it another Matt special?

This one wasn't the one which was charshed very soon after it was finished was it?
Is it the phase one it proper wire throttle body or a phase two ie DBW conversion?

LOL, you've been spending too much time with Matt

You did a good job killing that one.
How difficult is to to wire a phase 2 with its UCh etc into a phase 1 body or do you just plug in all the lights etc and every other electrical bit?

i had to swap everthing. dash loom, uch, loom to rear lights and sender unit, wiper mechanism. but i left the original dash in so my hazard light switch and central locking switch wiring are hanging loose. the rear lights i swapped the pins in the connector around and the front lights i just swapped the connectors over and soldered the wires in. i've got wiring diagrams which made it easy. but it was awkard getting the 172 accelartor pedal to fit securly so i used a couple of zip ties as well

 

[MrAtego]

You'll be getting and Audi lump in there soon then!!

[Ali]

Looks like a death trap.

 

[sharkaroo]

^^^agree, could have saved all your effort and just bought a proper 1!

 

[Englebert]

Err, that would be the antithesis of having a sleeper then wouldn't it?

Besides if he did it all himself it was effectively free.
