jetta_Mk2's 4ag silvertop I saw was very clean, the only thing was that most wiring was cut. Except than that, it's very clean.
Ben is helping me out in the swap in my corolla, and keep in mind that to swapping an engine is a big project which can cost a lot... you never know what you can discover when doing the swap, and sometimes it's better to change piece as everything is all apart then later on... If you don't want to be short, keep a thousand more than the price of your engine and you'll be good ! I can't say how much it has cost me right now, but I know it's gonna be more than the price of the engine !
NEway, if you have any more question feel free to ask !
peace
