Here's what you need

- Engine, gearbox and all parts associated such as starter, alternator, clutch etc/
- Slam panel and radiator
- ECU
- Engine Loom
- Clocks, stalks and associated looms
- Immob box and loom
- Fuel pump

Can pick up a doner car for pennies

I was gunna do it but getting a new car now Insted.

Give CJA321 a pm as he's got an 8v lump going very cheap

If your going to do it then fit something worthwhile like an ABF

I was gunna say that but suggested the 8v gti lump as that would be worthwhile compared to a 1.4 lump, and cheap too
