Many thanks for the offer! Was your car at Edition 38, I remember seeing a Jetta with a VR6 there. Unfortunately, the only way you could help out right now is by lending me a lot of money :S The 'general' renovation of the car took way longer than first anticipated and has cost thousands, so I now have the car back on the road, but the engine is still a 1.8. After having reviewed a lot of engine conversions and the many choices for the Mk1 Golf, I'm still going to eventually put a VR6 in, except that I'll probably end up using a manual box.
