Gti 6 Conversion Help Needed

[aarontrophy 26]

I have recently put a gti 6 engine in my 205 and when I tried starting it the wire that plug to the earth on the passenger side suspension mount started getting hot!!! Any ideas

Check the earth from the battery to the gearbox.

 

If there's an earth issue, the starter will try earthing via the strut and results in the thin wire melting.
