had a bit of trouble recently (engine wise) and found out its gonna cost around £950 to sort out properly... thats almost half the cost of the car so i dont really wanna be spending that kinda money. i was thinking about getting a new car for my birthday in august, and was gonna have my brothers R19 16V but i think hes sold that now
so what would you do? its a 1.0 12v btw!

If you've had engine trouble with a one litre, its rude for the car not to end up with two litre power, the question is not whether to do it, but whether you take it on!
Out of interest - what is age/mileage/spec of the rest of the car?

its a T-reg (99) 51k GLS.
and its a 5dr.
got a few smallish dents here and there as well, its just a depressive sight atm tbh! i hate it and i wanna move on. but at the same time an engine conversion would be fun id like to just stick a GSi engine in but i cant be arsed with all the hassle of finding an engine etc, whereas with a 2.0 16v you can get a drive-in drive-out thing cant you
