      To my knowledge, Amazon did it first 9 years ago with a partnership through Nissan. It was a very short lived publicity stunt. Motorcycle and ATV vendors have been doing this though for ages, as that's just how they ship them overseas, in parts, and then the dealerships assemble them.

Some of your engine swaps are obviously simple eBay listings but this one definitely seems like it might have been a bit more involved.

Shipping the EK9 engine, body kit, interior and what ever else they could get and applying it on a US spec model, really the true definition - and birth of 'JDM spec' in the car community.

    That front panel with the radiator and condenser and intercooler is sold as a "pack" for crash repair which is why its so handy for swapping stuff around. VW have done it for years, I had to do it with my 2006 B6 Passat after a bit of a shunt. Just bought a full front end pack and undid a few bolts and hoses and bolted the new one on. Was maybe an hour and half to get the whole thing done, hoses back on and coolant filled. This is definitely gonna be a great series for me, I've always been a VAG fan and have owned various Audi and VW cars for over a decade. Cant wait.

    Best unboxing video ever guys! You are living the dream my 11 year ood self was, every time my parents bought me another AMT model kit. Always loved those kits for one reason.
    You could build it one, or a mix of 2 to 4 ways. Stock, custom, vehicle specific packages, factory optio type, era soecific, or custom style type, and flat out, no limitations mad mods. They even included aftermarket oarts, as well as factory parts. Same with their motorcycle kits.
    And now, you're doing the kind of swap I dream of. Would love to get my mitts on a Barra and a 6 speed, and cut up my 65 Mercury Comet shell, and make a nice little, not quite sedste looking sleeper out of her. Sonething that's, " only got a little six banger in her."
    And hit the local race night at the track. Road course, but tunable for no prep and bracket races at the strip.
    With street manners.
    Love the new project mates. Can't wait for the next installment!

    Oh man, as someone who hails from the UK, I have looked for an UP GTI a few times in Oz. Can't believe you're building one. Epic little cars!

    As soon as I heard Up! GTI, I had to like the video. I just love these little cars. It really is the spiritual successor to the first Golf GTI. With 115 hp, a little over a ton in curb weight and about the same outside dimensions, it's about as close to a modern day Golf 1 GTI as you can probably get.
    Anyway, can't wait for the build of this little gem !
    Now Marty needs to get himself a competitor to this (modern, small, quick, nimble) and race on !

    Sweeeeeet! We have this engine in Brazil, but no GTi (tsi only, 105hp).. Fun fact: the brazilian Up is 10cm longer and the hatch is metal, not all-glass. Some say the 1.4tsi turbine fits plug and play.. Cheers!

    Oh boy oh boy. Once you've tuned it and done all the usual upgrades you're going to have SO much fun. Had one for 5 years over here in the UK and still as fun as the day I got it.

    Stoked for this one guys! I'm in the UK and keep catching myself looking through Up GTI classifieds! About as close as you can get to a modern interpretation of an original Golf GTI I reckon.

    14:26 I absolutely agree with Marty on the "FWD sucks past 260 hp" idea. I drive a stock first gen Mazdaspeed Axela (Mazdaspeed 3) and the factory 263 HP is already too intense for most normal tires, I plan to keep stock power and focus on the suspension and tire setup to get faster lap times

    this is amazing, the 1.0 tsi motors are really popular here in brazil, they are in everything, UPs, Polos, T-Cross, its in everything here. Its great to finally see something relatable to the average person, as a owner of polo tsi, i am stoked to see what is going to be done with this rocket of a motor

    My mechanic did a 1.8L swap from a polo gti in an up! He tuned and did everything himself and even brought it round the track. The thing absolutely ripped!
