I have been on the look out for 2DR MkII Jettas that I can buy so that I have a spare car or two . . . I am particularly interested in the body/chassis, as I can find engines and trannys without too much difficulty. I have located a 1991 2DR Jetta that seems to be a good candidate, but it's a diesel. Can I swap out the diesel engine with a 1.8l without any issues? I'm particularly concerned about structural stuff.

Oh, and if you know of any MkII Jetta coupes for sale in/near Ohio, please let me know.

As always, thanks!
