I have a 1991 VW Golf that needs a replacement gearbox & engine. The head of the original engine cracked & the gearbox was removed to fit another car. But I kept the shell because it is in perfect condition as well as the interior. It has been sitting in a shed for the past 3 years & hasn't moved. I now want to put it back on the road & use it as my everyday car.
I'm looking for any help I can get on where to source parts, what to look out for, what other work should be carried out on it to make it roadworthy again, etc etc etc ....
I heard through the grapevine that a 1.6 petrol engine will fit (there was a 1.3 Petrol in it originally). Is it a good choice to go for the 1.6 over the 1.3???
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated
