Not really worth it unless the 1.6 has a shell with no rust whatsoever and you have access to a complete donor vehicle.

There are so many differences between the basic models and the GTI its not really worth doing considering how cheap VR's and 16v are now.

you still need to buy a whole 16v or vr to do the swap. And if you're doing that might as well buy a good 'un to start with.
