Hi there,
I'm considering breaking my mk1 golf G40 project.
Could anyone advise me what the engine and box with a freshly built charger would be worth.. The engine came from a friends Polo, I cannot confirm mileage but it ran fine before I had it. I've refreshed alot of gaskets and done the water pump and cambelt.
I've just had the Charger rebuilt and had new oil lines, has a new 5pk rib belt kit with 70mm pulley, I also have the loom, ECU, basically everything to get it going and fitted in a mk1 as the mounts have been modified.
I'm trying to sell the car as a whole, but if this has a certain amount of worth, then it might pay me to break the car and keep the shell for a rainy day.
Thanks.

How much effort would it be to fit it back into a mk2f shell as no doubt that'll appeal more to people on here if it was for sale.
Hard to say on value, from ones I've seen before £700-£1500 tops but usually this stuff is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

Just charger mount and gearbox Mount you’d need.
I wasn’t marketing it to you guys specifically, I just thought you’d have the best understanding of the worth.
Engine
Rebuilt charger
Ecu
Loom
Shifter
Etc.
I was going to offer it to the Mk1 golf boys for 1200 quid as a complete conversion.. didn’t know if that was too steep.

who was the charger rebuilt by? Was it a DIY job or done by someone like Jabbasport with the receipt with it? I think that'll make a fair difference to the price. The charger is by far the most expensive component.
Is the gearbox a proper g40 ATV or a normal 5 speed (8P code)?
Not knowing the mileage of the engine is an issue too.
I'm not sure about £1200, but it does depend on the answers to these questions. I assume it includes the loom wiring loom, ECU and everything needed?

OCD did the charger last month and yes I have a receipt.
It's a G40 box yes.
Lets assume its a high miler, purely because I don't know.
Yes it includes Loom ECU all ancilliaries, even lift pump and sender and external pump if needed.
Original intercooler and pipework
Plus some other bits if it went to a mk1 golf owner.
Driveshafts
Shifter
Intercooler

ok. I think £1200 is a bit high but you might get a taker from the mk1 golf people given that you have those other bits already sorted to make it fit. I'd put an advert out and see what happens. I think more like a grand is it's money though. Really hard to say, just depends who is looking at the time!
-
Ok man, cheers for your input!
I’ll put it up at 1200 and take the hit if I get desperate.
Redundancy sucks. :/

Out of interest, how much for the lot? I'm just curious, I had a £240 mk1 1.6 GTI 4spd about 15 years ago and loved it, they all seem mental money nowadays.

Well I just secured a deposit on the rolling shell, standard suspension, bring own wheels.. 5k.
That’s very reasonable for a 3 door 1974 car.
