Saw it a couple of days ago actually. Not a very good ad tbf, but considering whats on it, its not too bad I don't think.

So how much would it cost to get a 1.8t with a ko4 and LSD to put in a mk3.

Seems a good buy to me, as a donor car

The main problem is that you have no idea of the standard of conversion and it could cost money sorting out problems before you even think about using it as a donor car.

lets face it

your just paying for the engine which has prob been bodged in anyhow

spend the cash elsewhere on a prober decent engine ETC

its not a BAM / AMK either so id be making sure it actually does have K04  (TB is on left, totally different to the AMK / BAM Engines)

id say avoid

I think it's safe to say that if the rest of the car is neglected then the running gear will be unless you could get it for peanuts.
