FWD to RWD

Postby Mr RVM » Wed May 27, 2015 1:17 pm

A quick question to those that know (I don't :oops: ) can a Mk7 FWD body shell be converted to accept RWD running gear :?: is the bulkhead and floor pan the same (or drastically different) :?: and rear spring mounts :?:
I know that this COULD be done, but is it fairly straightforward or more bother than its worth :?:

Cheers in advance

PS just spoke to Karl and its a No No :( (Back to plan A then :roll: )

I agree, rwd has less floor height on the chassis.

Bulkheads the same, but the rear floor from behind the cab is 4" higher on a rwd,
