Hi all im from cov just come from the air cool'd scene
I have a 1.1 golf mark 1.
Im lookin to put a 1.8 gti as the 1.1 is very lumpy and its not to happy with early mornin's also would not mind the extra power.
i am going to be a father in the next week at the prime age of 23
so will be lookin at the lowcost option and i do hate th 4 speed box even tho i had 1 in my bug
(Any one have any pointers)
The picks on my face book the (mars red 1 is my'n) i had the green mark3 2l gti 8v 1st but swap'd for the mark1

Thanks for the replys /input. I got the car as i wanted some think i could make my own. with out the insurance of a gti.
I have been lookin at the polo gt motor then going with the webber carb maybe.the only engine swaps i have done is on old bugs wich is very easy
i just wantd some pointers
Or I was thinking of getting extra engine mounts fitted so when i have get a gti motor an box i could just get a few mates round an fit the motor the only thing i dont have confidence to do is the ecu

Welcome to the site mate. As others have stated it's a lot of work even down to fuel pump, lines and tank I think :dontknow:
Love the enthusiasm though… and congratulations for the coming weeks
