I have a problem. I spent some good money on my car and it has treated me well. It has a pretty new engine (about 70,000 miles on it), a brand new tranny with a lifetime parts and labor warranty (that gets voided if I put it in a different car), and brand new suspension. With 180k on the car, it is starting to want more attention than I wanted to give it. It needs front end work, door handles, window motors, A/C buttons, etc.........
So I found a 96 with 113k on it for $500 with a blown motor and bought it with every intention of moving the motor, tranny and suspension out of my old car into the new one. Now I'm thinking about moving the headlights, A/C controls, door handles, window motors, complete interior, exhaust, rear bumper, etc. into the old car.
Somebody with some experience in this tell me which way makes more sense. I like the color of the 96 better and it has a sunroof. I'm just afraid of how many problems are going to come up in the motor swap.
Thanks!
