    It'd be a whole lot cheaper to covert a MKII to a G60 with a 'Rado engine, or 20vT for that matter... cheaper still to buy one that someone else has already spuffed a load of money on doing it instead.

    Second that Yes

    Or just leave it left hand drive, as you'll probably lessen the value of the car anyway by converting it... as it wouldn't be 'original' anymore.

    Third that.

    I would get a RHD Mk2, G60 engine, scirocco manifold, head from a valver, bahn brenner 'limited' conversion kit. You got yourself a 16v G60 - OH YEAH!

    The main PITA with a left hooker is car parks etc where you have to have a ticket.

     Owned a Corrado G60,not impressed with it at all,good on a roundabout and looked ace,but that's it.It was slow,noisey,constant worry about the charger giving up.Sold it and got another mk4
