Yes but you need to change everything, it is a lot of work.

unless the shell in the 1.4 is 110% rust and rot free and has absolutely no dings or dents or any other imperfections, aka, new, or it has had £1000s put towards it then you are better off just buying a gti and starting from there.

You would need to uprate the brakes and suspension.

The answer to your question is NO!

It involves a serious amount of work!

Too much money to mod a 1.4.

No, you should scrap it instead.
