Hi, I have a very rusty punto gt and a VW Lupo with a faulty engine. Could the engine be swapped from the punto into the Lupo effectively giving me a Lupo turbo? Thanks in advance.

You can do whatever you want, you just need to fab mounts and transfer the wiring, computer etc. Please send pictures of what you want to do and I can walk you through it.

Cheers, Ken

Brilliant Thank You. Think it's a job for a professional. I think the punto will cost a fortune to weld up so Lupo will be a cheaper option. Thanks for your help.
