Not that easy depending on engine type a modern high pressure TDI would be a lot of work

Off the top of my head knowing im missing a load of stuff.

• Engine
• Gearbox
• Wireing
• Ecu
• Tank
• Lines
• Driveshafts may be different
• Radiator
• Various hoses
• exhaust
• Clocks

If you picked up a crashed one and had months to mess around with it maybe.

I could think of much better ways to spend months in the shed.

The same + less wiring.

Even mounting the engine and gearbox can be a nightmare. I doubt the mounts are the same and that means welding and fabrication.

Honestly if your asking these questions I would be look at buying a carina in the first place or paying someone a lot of money to do it for you.
