You will DEFINITELY regret this. Its a plain shame man. And even more of a shame that I don't have the cash to buy it off you!

Low 'n' slow.
Done a few engines during the 1990's and won a few quarter miles. Too much torque is not good unless you run a AWD etc. Personally Drivers are hard to come by so stick with the original engine. Good luck with the car.

- ABD engine with 5speed gearbox running the injection from the polo GT
- band the wheels find some of the chrome hub caps
- door seals all round
- got a bit of leak at the heater matrix, so i need to fix that
- really want new seats as mine are pretty tatty
- pedal box needs adjusting as the accelerator pedal sits low/ brake and clutch sit high, dunno if anyone else has experienced this?
- few other bits and bobs, just little things really!
cheers, Mike

tommorow i'll be taking the dash back out as ive got a few wiring issues and also going to whip the wings off, as the engine bay is going back down to bare metal getting rid of the horrid seam sealer, also going to re-locate the battery to either the boot or maybe get a slimline battery under my seat!and obviously the bay will need a lick of paint!
