Sell this car and get a wrecker.... your project is one of those tricky ones that'll probably be abandoned eventually, unfinished with too many difficult things to sort out for the average car enthusiast. Half shafts, for example need special heat treatment once cut and joined, and balancing if uneven.

lots of welding

lots of wiring

lots of custom gear shift stuff

custom exhaust

the list goes on and on...

it's a good looking motor... oh and welcome to club lupo! :)

Now now, give the lad a chance.

However, I echo the sentiments, rather than chop up a good one, find a 1.4 with a blown engine or something.

Buy that half done red GTi on eBay atm, save some money and a car.

I spotted that yesterday. I'm convinced there's something he's not telling you on that ad. He discovered a few faults, so whipped out the whole engine???? It's like cracking a nut with a cruise missile....

Still, it's a potential bargain for someone with a truck and arsed.

No, this isn't the first time the auction has been listed.

Last few times it was for two cars.

Oh.... right, makes sense I suppose.
