Ive got the chance to get my hands on a 1.6 gti car for 600 euro,its clean enough just the owner is stuck for cash atm,
ive always toyed with the idea of fitting a 1.9 xud to a 205 diesel as a base and to gti rep it.
i have a 1.9 box spare heads,turbo,bosch pumps in the garage and various bits from years of pug ownership(moved to vag now)
for the conversion i would need 1.8d shafts to fit my box and probabley 1.8 engine mounts and a decent rad and intercooler,pipes
has anyone done this conversion before,ive read a few forums were it has been done,without much of a wiring headache,bar losing certain gauges
im getting the car this week and im going to stick it up on m bros 2 post lift and check it out before i decide
