You not fancy the idea of something different? Mate of mine fitted a new ford v8 in his mk1. 300 odd bhp out the box and I don't think it was an expensive engine iver runs a t5 box as well. Iver way looking forward to seeing it take shape will be a good project.

Small block Ford is an easier fit, less bhp than the modular engine though

V8 Engines are nice but when u factor in exhausts and all the other assoicated one off parts it becomes expensive.

It has rust of course, needs inner and outer sills both sides, o/s/r arch, small bit of welding in the boot. Engine bay is very good. It honestly needs less work than my old 4dr MkV I had 15 or so years ago.

Costina is going to do the welding for me as I can't weld.
I will ask Dave Pritchard to paint it (he don't know yet lol)

Progress will be very very slow. Lots of other stuff going on but couldn't miss the chance of getting the shell.
