Title: Engine swap or just wait and buy whole car?!
Post by: dirk on 02 March 2007, 11:57

Kinda fancied a project but after considering it, i'm not sure if all the work will be worth it-the thing being i have already done work to my driver (stripped interior, Buckets, Suspension,brakes etc)so there not much wrong with it!another consideration, i am a student!!and so car is left at home during term time. Being young and fearless i first considered a vr6 conv. but then i thought about it and got scared!!so what do you reckon?Cheers guys

as tour car is a driver, JUST BUY 1

if you fancy a project or find one cheap then buy the whole car.

buy a 16v and swap all the bits you like from the driver. there is more to a 16v than just an engine!
