Bought my saloon a over year ago. Served me well as a daily for just under a year until the big ends went.
Planned on buying a RedTop C20xe engine and fitting it, but realized with all the parts; gearbox, rear axle etc it would cost alot more than I first thought, plus lack of tools and knowledge. (Student so I have no money)
So I bought an already red topped chevette hatch with my student loan....
Started the engine swap today, managed to get the 1256cc out of the saloon
Plan is to put the c20xe in the saloon get it running but keep it looking abit ratty and shabby for better "sleeper" look
Got a mate who can respray the hatch, got a spare 1256cc for it. Probably sell the alloys off it and put some standard rostyles that I've got laying around back on then sell it as near standard with most of the parts transferred from the saloon.
