Default 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.

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?
