I need some advice!

I bought a 91 auto LX but the frame was a lemon. I have an uncle that is a mechanic if I bought this http://qc.kijiji.ca/c-autos-et-vehic...AdIdZ531831525 car and dropped in the motor I have that only has 75000km how easy would that be to do? I really want to keep owning a festiva but I don't think my frame will last another winter. Let me know if you guys know how expensive it would be to do at a shop or how easy it is to do at home.

Thanks guys!

I'd just buy that GL and drive it, keep the 91 for parts car.

That would be super easy since it's a direct swap between the 2 cars. Luckily both cars are autos so you don't have to worry about wiring, pedals, etc.

I'd just buy the red Sport and drive it and keep the 91 as a parts car


Edit: Larry beat me to it LOL :mrgreen:

In the ad says it has some mechanical issues though which worries me. I just really want a clean body so I can get my perfect condition non leaking engine into. I asked the guy if the car would drive my 7 hour trip so I guess we will know more when he responds.

It may be easier to fix a few mechanical issues than it would be to swap a drivetrain. Could be something as simple as a leaky valve cover, a couple of tie rod ends, etc...the normal Festiva stuff.

Hmmm I hope there are only small issues that car looks awesome! Does the paint look original I'm just surprised there isn't more rust it being from quebec.
