all ive done is cleaned the interior as it was mouldy and got the old matrix out...

Get a new engine! If the bodywork is in decent condition then you might as well! Look at it as if you are saving another one from the scrappy!

the shell is to good to scrap its 99% rust free,
wot it comes down to is how much another engine is gonna cost me as its more money i need to put into it.....doin the work doesn't bother me as i can do it.......

Drop a TDi lump in there.

It'll live forever!

If funds are tight but time and space is not an issue get cracking on tidying it up and save up for a new lump. You can pick up a replacement ABF for not too much money.

Yup ABF's are not megabucks, especially if you get them attached to a free SEAT selling bits off that can ease the impact on the pocket.

You could look at it as a blessing in disguise, you get to put whatever you want in there.
Also I have a KR and an ABF if you're needing either of them, just drop me a PM if you like.
