[QUOTE="Vincent Hor, post: 724408, member: 1221"] From 1 of the post I read you bought a lemon. Hopefully your decision or your mechanic won't make it a bigger lemon. There's no compromise when working on a transplant. These are some of the priorities; No. 1 - listen to the advise given by the members here. These are the people who have gone through the school of hard knocks. Of course you need to use your own good judgement to decide which is good or bad advise. In case of doubt ask more questions in the forum. No. 2 - Be prepared with sufficient budget No. 3 - Find a very competent mechanic who has carried out such projects & has a reputation for this job No. 4 - If possible get the full car at one go. You won't have to miss out anything. End of the day it could be a cheaper route, a good job done & a trouble free future ownership No. 5 - Be prepared to fork out more money as certain wear & tear parts from the half cut will also need to be replaced. Remember half cut are used parts. [/QUOTE]
