Forums and ebay. Always best to try and find one in the car still running so you can hear it. To be honest, with the current value of MKIII's it might be easier to pick up a complete car with bad rot but a good engine, swap the lump and break the rest of the car.

I got one from madmanmart on here, and can't recommend him enough! Cracking price, great delivery time, and kept me in the loop all the way! Give him a PM, he always seems to be breaking them.  :smiley:

depends if your willing to pick it up but there is a scrappy in Peterborough that had a mk3 8v gti just under 75,000 miles.

I was going to have the engine myself but haven't got the money, they wanted £80 for it, car was driven in and scrapped because of rust so engine is good.

If your interested I can get their number if you want to give them a ring and see if they still have it?

Well my plan is to just make the 8v look nice. Its a cheap and easy project.

I have found one on ideal engines, 36000 miles 6months warranty, £295 delivered but the customer relations is pants, tried ringing them back about 10 times today, no answer :(

How much are you looking for tweed? Drop me a PM.  :cool:

Ill PM madmanmart see what he's got in.

Thanks chaps.  :smiley:
