I was lead to believe that the existing mounts are fine and the engine just "drops in", is this the case?

Mk2 Golf GTI Backbox

The mark2 golf gti backbox has a lovely chrome twin pipe, and they're £50 quid new.

I know they won't fit straight on to my '88 1.6 GT but would i be right in thinking that it could be made to fit? ... they're a similar shape arn't they? A bit of cutting and welding would do wonders? Or should i ...
