£1500 is going to be a bargain. I'm sure there won't be any shortage of takers. I can't wait to see it all pack together again.
Was I right in thinking you where going to put a T5 engine in it at one point? Would that be a major operation for any purchaser as it would REALLY kick bottom with a t5 engine.

Would that be a major operation for any purchaser as it would REALLY kick bottom with a t5 engine. after measuring it it looked like it would go in with minimal effort fit wise though would need a few customs parts making . it would be great with the T5 engine or for an easier option a 2.3 turbo 4 pot would drop in no probs and give very good power . that said the stock 2.1 has only done 62k and drives like new anyway so could be run as is with no problems

£1500 is a bargain.. would love it myself but threat of redundancy is looming large Apparently T5 swap requires modding of sump and oil filter and finding a g/box to stick to it.. not hugely involved but 4pot turbo is straight bolt in swap so more popular... Cracking car and good luck with sale
