Here's the replacement, a nice 1.4 100 bhp lump. 75K miles, complete with gearbox, loom and various other supporting components.. I'm so excited to begin the conversion. I'm hoping with the addition of my GTI injectors, Throttle body, inlet and 4-2-1 manifold followed by a map that i'll have in the region of 130 ish bhp.... that will be much better than the sub 45 i have now
Damn, the blue one looks so great, send me one of those!

And now, some maths.
So, i've got this 1.4 16v Sport gearbox. They differ from the 75BHP box as they are geared for economy, whereas the 100 BHP box is geared for acceleration. Now when my 75BHP box exploded on my Polo, i kept the 5th gear from it. So here's what i've done.
This is the 75BHP gear setup.
Tooth count taken on the 75 BHP gears
Input - 50 Teeth
Output - 37 Teeth
37/50 = 0.74 5th gear ratio
This is the 100 BHP Gear setup.
Tooth count taken on the 100 BHP Gears
Input - 46 Teeth
Output 41 Teehth
41/46 = 0.89 5th gear ratio
So by putting my Longer 5th gear on, i'll roughly see a drop of 20.5% RPM across the gear. Which roughly calculated means the top end is pushed from 124 MPH to 149MPH. This means mega fuel economy at 5th gear, allowing me to cruise at about 2800 RPM at 70, instead of about 3700 RPM at 70.
So thats now on, i'm about to stick the box in the paraffin washer and clean it up before i dust some paint over it!

Damn, this gear post reminded me why I love this build thread so much. Very interesting to see this explained to a buffoon like me!
Also, if you don't make any attempts to somewhat smooth the bay once the engine is out I will be very disappointed! Make the most of that space once it's out

Meh, that's all a question of time, and how long i can keep my car where it is. Without the workshop and tools at work i'm bollocks'd, so smoothing the bay isn't really on the list. Wire tucking however, that is something i can do.

Afternoon all,
So the fronts off, all i'm left to do now is put the engine and gearbox back together, then it's good to go in!
With the slam panel and rad off, i've made a start of lable'ing up the engine harness, just so i can copy everything over onto the 1.4 loom. This will save me hours of head scratching.
By rights, with the driveshafts out it's literally a case of getting an engine crane in place, taking the support bolts and exhaust off, then pulling the engine out from the front with a pallet truck..

Morning all,
Fair bit of progress made over the last 2 weeks, engine and box are now clean, engine is timed and the swap is now ready to begin!
Nice fresh timing kit installed, engine ready for clean
Pre wash
150 degree steam cleaned, it's good for a quick rattle of silver now!
To summarise on engine and box:
I've timed and serviced the engine,
Engine and box have been cleaned,
5th gear has been swapped for a longer ratio 5th
I had planned to go a bit more overboard, like head porting etc, but i'm limited on money and time. So for now, it's just a cleanup service and swap.
Cosmetically, well, see for yourself
Over the moon with this. Hugeeeeee shoutout to my friend Kurt (insta @kuxrt_) for making this happen, it's going to look the bollocks when the front is complete again!
Test fitted my new specs also, wheels went out for paint last night
by
I need about 1.5 degree more camber on the rear, and i've got a pair of 8mm spacers to go on the front. Christ i love this thing.
