ooof, that sounds like at least 2500 to 3000 dollar of rust repair. Would be the price around here


maybe get a yard 123 for part of the swap. I found that very useful on a swap project. Having a parts vehicle sitting there to test fit stuff really helped me.


If you had one there where you could get the cuts just right to fit the engine, and knew just what you needed to do on the nice one, you would save the nice on from destruction or mistakes which are bound to happen. Example if you got 80% into the swap and discovered a steering geometry issue you just could not work around, or other problems like that, you would not have cut into the pristine car yet. Also a parts vehicle would be useful for just extra parts, certainly for a 123 which are getting less common
