1.6gti into 1.3 anyone done it before?

just wondering is there anyone on here that has put a 1.6gti engine into a non gti shell before??
i'm in the middle of doing it and i'm running into some problems that i need answers to.
the car is the orginal small tail light so the 1.6 is the orginal gti engine for the car with regards to wiring and that.
