yes they are,
yes you would,

and no it wouldn't

check out the link above mate.. loads of info. easy conversion, cheaply done (depending on who and how you want to do it) and if the engine goes pop the it's 200 quid for a new one and the rest of the parts are just bolt on.

how much do you think we are looking at to get the work done?
The car itself?
engine and all the bits fitted?

Cost would depend on how bad or good te car was to start with remember mk1's are getting old so body work is going to be an issue would also depend on how far yu wanted to go with such things as 5 link kit for the axle coilovers etc etc engine wise there easy to get for around £200 easy its only really a cost you can figure when you work out the final spec of the car you wanna build
