fitting the 1.8 20v turbo from an Audi TT is easy in those mk1 golf's. 400bhp a few tuning bits away.
Interesting the love for old british motors. My mate owned a fully restored spitfire his dad race's them.

Lovely styling, though, and if you get a pre'73 car (BMC switched to Toledo steel then) the rust is nowhere near as bad as a domestic of the same year.

first an 85 is mk2,and second a aba/16v would bolt right in and make more power with less money. you need to do some massaging to get any of the newer 4cyl engines in there

Aside from the synchromesh TR5/250/6 gearboxes I can't think of a single British gearbox that isn't machined out of poorly tempered pot metal.
