ERICtheBERIC Member 105 Member For: 10y 10m 4d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 17/10/14 03:27 PM Share Posted 17/10/14 03:27 PM I was able to get a very straight ba mk1 sedan for very cheap and now I wanna put all the running gear from a xr6t into it. I bought a beat up 2002 xr6 turbo, with no interior, and a lot of body damage but the motor runs fine. I wanna swap the motor, suspension, brakes and diff and I also need to convert the mk1 to a manual as that's what the xr6t is, so also pedal box and transmission.I was just wondering if anyones done anything similar and might be able to give a few words of advice? Im really hoping a lot of the gear is just bolt off bolt on and all the mounting is the same between the 2 cars, is that the case?

He also last logged in yesterday at 11am.Gunna replied at 06:29pm, so he has not seen the posts.I thought he had scared him off too, but it is all a waiting game now.Hopefully he updates us soon as I am curious too. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89409-huge-project-im-swapping-over-everything-from-an-xr6t-into-a-ba-m/#findComment-1507178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
