Anyone know if theyre any good? Been offered a 1995 punto 1.1 sport in a swap for my 1.2 8v corsa. Will i be able to tell much difference in speed or reliability?
Its had brand new:
Head gasket
Cambelt
Fuel pump
water pump
Rocker cover gasket
thermostat and a few other bits
Its from a good mate who is a qualified mechanic that used to work for VW, buys and does up cars to sell on. My car has had no MOT for months and is a bit of a job to get it through an MOT.
Was just wondering wether it would be worth the swap?

Apparently it can keep up with his clio 1.4. As its only a short term thing i think i will go for it if its ok on a test run
