4WD conversion either MK3 or MK4

[WeeJase]

if im honest mate i really should go down that route. its just the fact that a couple of my mates have done it to stuff that isnt supposed to be 4x4 (ie astra, RSTurbo, focus) and its the appeal of having something that is sooo underrated too if you know what i mean. the amount of times they've been on track days and people have come over too them as they had overtaken their fq400's and sti etc is rediculas as they just think its another RST, Cupra focus etc. the look on there face too is worth the extra time and effort.

i like having a car which is considered an underdog at first glance but really isn't. thats why i converted my ZR to turbo power as rovers arnt supposed to be fast cars

Are you guys on about Beardy by anychance. I bought some stuff off him for my UT about a year ago as he was just starting the Fiat cinq conversion. Hes a very good mechanic looking at his previous cars!!!!!

You could buy something like a 4x4 leon from europe? Although then that would be left hand drive but I'm sure you could convert that

hmmm what year is the 4x4 leon then? never herd off them being 4WD. to convert that to LHD would envolve the same thing as swoping the floor plans over for rhd tho

yea sorry i didnt cross my self properally on that one. it'd be more work to convert the 4wd LHD leon to a ibiza than a RHD S3 if you know what i mean?
