ok is this a good...
 

is this a good idea...

I bought a hatch and it has rust on the back wheel well....I am planning on swaping a b18c1 in it in july...now the guy who said he would hook me up with a swap ( a mechanic that my mom knows very well) said he will do it and the rust...so should i just tell him to do the swap and fix the rust...cuz personally im sick of trying to find someone to do it for cheaper...i should jsut pay up and do it right the first time....

give me some advice...would it be better just to pain the whole car a different color and fix the rust...or fix the rust and leave it the dark gray stock color???shit im a mess...

If you trust him and think he will do better work, then spending a little extra wont hurt.

woo hoo... HOW well? :naughty:

yeah do it if he'll back up his work if something goes wrong... personally, i'd try to do it myself because it'd be more fun :thumbup:

and then maybe people will pay you to do it later on. that's why i like learning to do things myself.

is swaping a engine hard??? i mean i need a engine lift and a good set of tools will do the trick?

if he's gonna do it right and cut the rust out, then hell yea let him do it.

you might need some engine mounts too

im buying from Hmotorsonline and its a full b18c1 swap...woul di need the harness and mounts??? and also is 3400.00 alot for a full b18c1 swap...or will it be like 4000.00 because i need the mounts and harness....i think i should put this in engine tech but let me know you guys...

do it yourself you'll learn something, if yiou get stuck we'll help you. $3400 is a decent price but with hmotorsonline you have peice of mind that if anything iss wrong they will help you out alot cause they have great customer service. you may not need mounts what kinda car are you putting it into?
