it looks like a nice cherrished example!!!!!


it looks a mismatch of parts, UK rear boot and front bumper, the rear lights have been altered from a jap import ie red colouring on the fog light

You would have to put your heads on that engine as the wiring and inlet manifold are different to your car

I wouldn't be trusting either the engine or gearbox off that pile of crap

I'd be on the phone to API about a replacement engine to be honest. More money yes but more piece of mind that it's not going to die 3 weeks after doing the swap.

What he said X2 David at API is a great guy Ceri. Give him a ring, even if your budgets small he may be able to help you out
