Yesterday was a big day. I finally dropped my TDI into the van! It is only resting on the 2 side mounts right now and I tied it up so it doesnt fall over. I'm using some modified 83 diesel mounts right now but I'm unhappy with them. They don't sit how I would like and I think they're slightly taller because the alternator hits the engine cover. I decided to give in and purchase some saab 900 hydraulic mounts. The people who have used them on their van seem pleased. When I get those I'll have to fab up something for my carrier bars.
In addition I also tore up the rest of my interior for a through cleaning. Removed everything up front too to prepare for the wiring. Cut out and got rid of all the useless vanagon wires and only saved things like the radio wiring, door sensors, heater swtch, wipers ect. Everything else will be TDI wiring
Jon was a big help today
There was some nice mouse nests in this guy. Will open up and go through another day
Power washed the interior after all was done. Nice and clean! Next step is soundproofing!
