Project winter beater

[CornFed2.4]

Looks like a similar project. Good luck but, id find a different motor than the 4G15. Junkyards will probably be the only place youll find one and there asking $400-$600.

Doing the 4G63 swap there are alot more added costs than just the motor. Ive been talking alot with mark (tkr) and asking questions on the mirage boards. If you do go that route your gonna need a 1G harness and ecu, patch harness thats $200- $400 alone if you can find them cheap.

I picked a 7 bolt 2.4 up for mine.

Seems like a lot of work for a winter beater!

Make sure you get the correct primer for that metalcast paint.

The purple is going to be a Vikings helmet under the hood!

Mmm, no. lol

I'm not planning on doing the 4g63 swap for the simple fact of cost. I am however acquiring some of the parts to do the swap when I can afford to do it. As far as finding an engine; well, I have. I surely will not be paying $400 for it either.

This is simply my opinion but, anything else would be half-assing it. I mean if you have the car this far apart, there's no point in not fixing the rust and cleaning up the engine bay. Idk, maybe it's that I like my stuff clean and done my way. But who knows; I'm a weirdo. Lol

What do you mean primer? I'll be applying it over a silver which will have a self-etching primer beneath it.

Nice work man. Take pride in your stuff, even the beaters.

Nice! Put in a 4g63t, it'll be cheap!

Thanks! And exactly my point/feelings on the subject.

On who's budget? Lol

Cheap on anyone's budget if you know what you're doing with the motor/car.




Looks like a very fun car to go thrash on. I would also love to see a 4g63t but leave those bike tires on it....lol

I guess it depends how much you make. I don't make much on my bi-weekly check(s). Our lovely tax raise over last year has me clearing about the same amount as last year, yet I'm worKing 20 hours more (in said pay period), than last year.

I just got offered $450 for the shell.. Not sure what I want to do with this from here. Opinions?
