Bare 1.5 (I think) engine and 4 speed manual box. 
Condition is completely unknown coming out of a 1981 golf cabriolet which I haven't heard run or drive. 
It's still in the vehicle looking for £50
Carb and shafts not included. It's just the bare engine, head and box.

The head is from a 1.8 as it's got the water pipe coming out between cylinders 3 and 4.
1.6 heads it's between 1 and 2.
There should be an engine code just below no.3 spark plug, possibly EX engine?
