Hello to all. I purchased a 1980 Mk1 diesel Golf 4dr hatch in Jan this year.
It has been sitting waiting for me to dive in and fix all the little things and that time has finally arrived.
However I think the engine is pretty tired so I am considering a swap or total rebuild.
Any suggestions on a swap engine would be much appreciated. A 5 speed box wood be good as well.
If there is any later model engine/box combination, prefer non turbo, that will bolt more or less straight in, any advice there would also be very welcome.

Thanks in advance and also to the owners of this site.

Chris
