Don't redo a clean vert. If your going to redo everything then whats wrong with a beater??? It takes as much work swap a oil soaked motor as it does a 2k motor thats just a little slow.

Well frankly, it will cost less to make a nice car they way you want it, as opposed to making a broken down rusted out shitbox the way you want it. One could spend thousands on bodywork and paint alone, however, since this car has nice paint, the money saved from not having to paint it can be put toward a turbo conversion, and/or an upgraded stereo system, or, perhaps a nice little weekend drinking binge with hookers in Atlantic City.

I don't get this. Phinsup wants to take a clean vert and convert it to a TII. What is so bad about that? All the Swapped verts he looked at were shitboxes already. That is why he gave up and is considering doing the swap himself.

Exactly! I was just thinking, all the Verts in Japan are Turbo's.



So what is so wrong with taking a really clean vert and swapping a turbo drivetrain into it?



Everytime I see a Turbo swapped Vert I love it! Best of 2 worlds.

The AE is a shitbomb... this car isn't.



I thought your AE was in pretty good condition?



I guess it's a question of "historical value" then. I mean is keeping an AE an AE really worth anything? If not buy a 20B and go to town.
