Hi Everyone :)
I'm new to the forms.
I've been doing a lot of research on this swap and I have a few questions. I have already checked out the "Sticky" Conversions thread.
Backstory- picked up a full donor. MK3 98' TDI Jetta- ALH with the O2A. Planning to swap it into a MK1 93 Cabriolet 8v Auto
I'm aware that the MK1 has a A1 chasis.
Can I cut around the control arms and swap the MK3 subframe? This would save alot of money if I don't have to buy the custom motor mounts etc..
I've seen some threads where this has been done, but not a lot of information or pictures has been provided on exactly how.
Thank you! I appreciate your time.

Hmm. I guess it could be done... I think it would be easier to make your own mounts than to swap the whole subframe... For that matter though, the mount kit from s&p is only around $500-700
