didn't no what topic to put this under but...
As some of u may/may not know, i'm looking for a new car, something bit faster turbo'd or R/W drive or 4x4's won't go a miss either but i still like the punto...
so the question is new car or engine transplant???
I called overton's dismantelars today (just outside aberdeen) used them before and r really good, they have a 1.4 GT TURBO 8v punto engine there just over 30k miles goin for £350 +VAT BUT no gear box, driveshafts, ecu, front wiring loom etc etc . dunno weather to hunt round for the rest of the parts or not??? once got off the phone my boss said, "if ur changing engine's why not just go all the way and get a FIAT COUPE 2 LItRE 20V TURBO put in it" :shock: i laughed at first then thought about it :idea: but i'm thinking that it wouldn't just be a plain swap.
the other option is sell the car and get a new car. My thought so far are: punto gt turbo, Mx-5 ( dunno if there girly or not), toyota starlet turbo or galancia turbo (lol at spelling), MR2 but still think and getting input from other people.
Any suggestion's/ ideas???
