fella i might be mistaken but if your cab was a gli its basically a gti 1.6 injection cab! before they named cabriolets gti the injection verison was badge as a gli! so its has the older gti engine in it! so im thinking that it can lit be a job of dropping the engine and gearbox and maybe thats it as the fuel lines atnk are the same!?!?!

if everythings sound on the black one i'd whip everything out and swap it over. the fuel tank is a tricky one as far as i'm aware the whole rear axle has to come off i might be wrong but i'm pretty sure thtas the crack.
