Find a pre97 8v car, non runner for really cheap and throw the 1.6 in it and the bumper :P its a straight swap, dump the air con to save even more money

Or if you know where theres one that is going to scrap buy it at scrap price

It really isnt as difficult as you think, if you buy a 8v the dick work.is done as everything just plugs/bolts in, do understand why you wouldnt want to though
