Okay, so I have had my 02' civic for about a year now, after she hit 400K kilometers, I lost the block, So ive decided to cut my losses and sell the car for parts! But to the topic at hand, my cousin is selling his car for cheap. It's a 2000 Hatch, with a frankin swap ( B20b block, b16a head, B16a tranny, and a B18c valve train, low compression built for boost), it has some rust, and a dented passenger door. What I was wondering how hard it is to weld the motor mount back to the sub frame? It pulled out on him. He's only asking $750 from me... I highly believe it's worth it, opinions are wanted! Thanks for looking!

Buy the car, take out the engine swap, sell the chassis for extra cash. Buy My car, swap it in, use the extra cash to Turbo or boost it. It's that simple and you will have a civic sleeper :drive:

Honestly though, keep the swap and sell the chassis, it will save you a lot of time and money. A junkyard can give you 500 at the least and at most 1000 and that is enough to buy a good COMPLETE shell that only needs the engine or engine + tranny. I saw one on Craigs not so long ago for 500 black on black, clean stock interior, 5 spoke rims, tinted, it just needed the engine and trans. Doubt its still up there but that's the best place to look for a deal.
