Gte springs and dampers, anti-roll bars and bumpers, spoiler and skirts if you want. ;)

Brakes 1.2 brakes are shit so you need the servo disks pads calipers master cilidar and so on
you need the clocks rev counter etc
i am not sure what you do about the choke
exhast from manifold back
suspenison shocks and springs
all of the engine gearbox and wireing loom
i think you need to change the radiator not 100 % sure though

and then any body work that might make you 1.2 look a bit nicer

why dont you just drive the gte surely even if it is a bit messy / rusty surely it would work out cheaper to just clean the gte up a bit and sell the 1.2 and the money you get from the 1.2 you could mod the gte with


i aint laughing no more and those stupid little faces can fuck off !

Nope cause my 1.2 looks more like a modified GSI. GSI bumpers, spoiler and novadose skirts, gutted the rear, Digi clocks, POWER STEERING! etc, etc.

All i'm interested in doin is changing the engine. As the GTE is my dads and he's gonna put a valver in it.

Thanx
