split it and keep the good bits. Obviously you won't need the arches on your current one, but mine will benifit from them nicely ;D

Thanks for the comments everyone,have been thinking about it today,and as i have spent quite a bit on my car getting it the way i want it,i might as well do a transplant.I am not too worried about it not being worth as much as a genuine g60 as i am planning on keeping it and improving it as and when :)

theres always a third way.....

why not keep it, and get an original. one car for each foot.

i have even started looking on ebay.de for a 16v F&I to be honest. for my sins. keep 1906vc of course. but get another lil run around.

err... might be  abit late to chuck my ten pence worth in as it osunds like you've already made up your mind....

if oyu've got a gti shell and body then oyu might as well keep it. I went against a couple of g60s at Pod which were conversions, they were sweet looking motors and will still hold value provided gthey're not dogs to start with!

If you do go down the original route, ignore what Marcus is saying about that blue one at supergolfs, I've seen it and it's a bit of a dog. no where near the condition of your motor. Same goes for the green rallye he's got on there....

It might be worth called Steve at Pitstopdevelopments - 07855846499
and telling him what you want to do. See if he can source an engine for you, they could definately do the transplant and would be cheaper than a lot of places like *cough designa dubs*. And to be honest they know their superchargers better than most people ;)

You'll need to upgrade your brakes an stuff.

I have to agree here, I have heard some nasty stories about cars that come from there and have seen a lot of dogs esp bad rallyes that have come from there. If looking at there cars take a real good look at them.

There stuff is always over priced!

depends what you are trying to achieve. good g60 = 3k minimum and will be lhd, next to no history but available with good spec and interesting colours.

conversion = buy a good 8v, engine swap and sort the brakes = 3k ish to end up with a rhd g60. paul's silver mk2 is that tidy that i would never sell it. i would happily eat my dinner off it :) engine swap is the only answer.
