Just got a 1981 n/a jetta with a good engine and tranny. The body is 
shot, lots of rust in the rear door arches. I do believe it's a 1.6. 
Could it be a 1.5 ? if it is, would it still work as a spare motor and 
tranny for my '86 Golf. The engine is fairly low miles at around 170k, 
no leaks and ran great last time it was started several years ago. My 
plan is to just rebuild it and then drop it in my golf and then rebuild 
that engine. What should I look for upon tear down.
