Engine Swap

Post by Coleyboi »

I've got a 1.0l gls and its all standard but im looking for a bit more umpf if you know what i meen. i've got a 1.6 gsi engine with the gearbox. i've also got the brakes, suspension and all the other main parts including the clocks for the engine which has only done 3000 miles. any way does anybody know how easy it would be for this straight corsa - corsa swap. If there is any other parts that iwould need for it please tell me so it wouldmake my job easier. Also how much would it cost to re-paint the car its a 3dr the car is silver and i can strip the paint myself all i need is for somebody to paint it candy red.

Well thanks to anybody who can help me
