Right long story short, I'm currently in China and have actually managed to find an imported skoda forman for very cheap and it comes with all the legal documents that are very difficult to get with a car in this strange country. It needs work but I am slightly worried about part availability so I'm wondering what parts can be retrofitted to one of these? I would love to upgrade parts with later model skoda stuff or maybe vw parts but I have no idea what parts fit and have had very little luck finding information online. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated and I do mean any, like I would be very open to an engine swap if there was an easy enough engine to drop in. 

Have a look in this topic for inspiration.

I'd love to do that but I'm meaning that its not easy to find standard favorit parts in China so I want to know if any parts from other cars will fit?
