buy an MOT failure mk2 golf and swap everything over

go for something with a carb engine unless your happy to get underneath and swap tanks to run injection

doesnt a 1.3 a have different design than a 1.6 or 1.8.

someone told me they do....i have no knowledge other wise as i have never owned one.

if they are similar then a 1.6 or 1.8 could be a straight swap

nope in the mk2 it's all the same chassis, the gearbox is different though so if you buy a whole car it would all just bolt in, what ever it is.
