Ł500 isnt unreasonable.

failing that, make a template out of wood and give it to a old skool engineer with a lathe.

It is by far better to get hold of an fwd gerbox for the volvo lump and cut the bellhousing and weld it to the RWD gearbox. Even if you break the T5 you can swap the bellhousings.

Make your adaptor template
Then get it cast
Then machined

It shouldn't cost more then Ł250 if your wise about it
And remember if you make a pattern , add 1% for shrinkages
