Theres a guide in the articles section of the forum mate.
In short you can use your tank,pump and lines,you can keep your shafts but swap inner cv's for mk2 cav 1.6 items.
Alternator cut out recess in chassis leg,mount kit from valvers.com or similar,wiring is very easy.
Exhaust will need welding
Wiring is very easy on a GTE as you've got it all there already
I made a loom to go from the original GTE to the XE plugs, iirc i got the connector from a 1.7 Cav TD

To these:

Only the green plug and fuel pump (red/blue) is needed

As people have said though, dont redtop a GTE, and the exhaust you would have to get a different system for a XE
Keep the gte fella, buy a base model 1.0 as a project car and use that as a project and also to learn on
Or buy a nova sport just to break it to be different, oh wait that's been done haha
