You have done some great work! That's a really nice swap! What was the original engine, 1.0 or a 1.5? And how was the process, pretty straightforward or have you find some problems?

Originally a 1.0 manual. The swap was fairly simple itself however the headlights and virtual clocks were a nightmare I couldn’t code the seat VC into the polo so the polo clocks were deconstructed to fit inside the ibiza casing

I saw on your insta that you also changed the 'ventilation ducts' behind the dashboard. Is that necessary for the engine swap?
Everything from the polo was swapped over full wiring loom went in. As it’s semi MQB the loom doesn’t split so had to swap the full car engine loom over

That’s an impressive piece of work. Did you have any issues getting your insurance company to cover your car with such significant modification work?
