golf c 1.1 conversion to 1.8 gti HELP NEEDED?

:D  hello people, i've just taken on a un~finished project 1983 golf c 1.1 conversion to a 1.8 gti ? the engine,gearbox,wiring loom,fuel tank,filler neck,drive shifts,dash,front brakes etc are in place and are from
a donor gti. most off the wiring seems to be connected some where? :dontknow: can any one help?  :roll: what is needed for this conversion? where or who can i go too from here? also the four button gti steering doesn't seem to fit (are the splines different?) :roll:
i'm based near portsmouth(hampshire) if any one can take a look? :lol:

You'll need to relocate the engine mount, which will need welding. Info and how-to here:

And this is the 'general' how-to guide on convering a Mk1 Golf to 16V, there is a little section of considerations if you are starting from a non-GTI.
