    Diesel swap for Seat Ibiza?

    Hi,
    I know this has probably been covered before, but I have a 1995 model Seat Ibiza 1.4, which I have been slowly tidying up to use as a daily driver.
    With the chance of modding my Bora slowly slipping away as it gets older and more expensive to repair, I have turned my sights over to the Seat.
    Does anyone have any info on sticking a turbo diesel engine into one of these? What's the best/easiest/cheapest way to do this?
    I'm sure I'll have more questions, and the possibility of a build thread, but we'all take that as it comes.
    Cheers!

    easy peasy... only tricky bit might be engineering.

    Since yours is a 1.4, the best option would be to fit 2.0 golf or Ibiza front subframe setup, then you can fit any mk3 era diesel - there are a few.

    You could also go for a more modern PD tdi if you had a donor car, but it would be a bigger project.
