ABF is a good all round choice but being a 1.3 means a lot will need changing.

Both are going to be a lot of work, abf would probably be easier and cheaper as you would need less parts and the parts are generally cheap and easily available

Yeah nothings ever easy!! See I was getting the feeling of just getting the 1.3 lump running again and taking it back to original as I can, but I know I won't be happy with that and will always favour the mods and a decent engine conversion. All that said though I've advertised it on here to see what interest I get as I don't really have lots of time for a project, well not unless I wish to be single again lol but if I didn't get a good offer then would keep or strip
