richard_sephton:
there is not a spot of rust on the body underneath i have seen a few projects with vr6 engines then i saw one with a v8 and it just gave me ideas :D  :twisted:

Henry Webster:
If you want a project then go for it! :wink:

I'm just being the boring sense of reason (where did that come from?! :wink: ).  Many VWs of that era will have good shells, so replacing your car with an early VR6 or GTi will be much better value and better engineered than doing a mix and match job yourself.  Be easier and cheaper too, but possibly not as much fun! :D

TBH as already said, its not worth it. If you want an easy life then find the apropriate Audi A3 of the same age and do a swap. If you are feeling really mad the S3 1.8T will go over quite easilly as will the 3.2V6 from the TT Quattro

Thats the TT engine :) You'll be able to raid the brakes of the donor veichle. Assuming you have one. A low milage 1.8 20VT will set you back a BIG wad of cash. Looked at one for the zook and engine + ECu with 8K miles you are looking at well over £1.5K
