This is my 4 door mk1. She's a Gx model from 83. The Gx was a top of the line model which was only produced in 83. It's a 1.6 carb with an auto gearbox and all the options possible ticked of.

The body is in excellent condition but the engine has seen better days. It runs horrible and produces quit a lot of oil spill. I blame the carb and my complete lack of skills for the running part and age is probably to blame for the oil spill.















Because of the great bodywork on this car I think it's worth upgrading the engine and fix up the interior. The Gx model came with a complete GTI interior and this one is still salvageable. It's just 30 years of filth and dirt.





My big issue with this car is the engine. I can't figure out what to do. There's many possible engine conversions possible but I need do one that is road legal in Denmark. That means I can't upgrade to an engine that originally was offered in a mk1. So no 1.8t or vr6 and so on. That's problem number one.
Problem number two: I want to keep my auto gearbox...
Is, for example, a 1.8 KR engine possible to run with an auto?
