Engine Raise in a Lowered Car! {MK1 Caddy Project}

For sump clearance and getting those crazy lows we'll need to raise up the engine and gearbox in the lowered VW MK1 rabbit pickup. This means modifying some of the original mounts as well as fabricating some new engine mounts.

Although you can buy the 02A transmission and 1Z TDI conversion mounts off the shelf, we needed to make our own to raise the engine up about 40mm.
