Welcome aboard
I had a 205 GTI 1.9 about a million years ago. Great car but not the best reliability ever, and that was on a car that was only a couple of years old!
MK2 8Vs are great but will feel very heavy to drive after years of Pugs. Chuck a 2.0 bottom end on it and will wake up a bit! Most unfortunately are dogs now, but this is a big forum and there will be the right people on here who will know where the best ones are, so you've done the right thing by joining.
What year of 80 Sport do you have? The early mk2 Sports (circa 1985-87) are great. The later ones were a bit hefty for the engine to cope with. Keep it and chuck a 1.8t in it.
