Ph1 172 engine into 1.2?

[jaycanning]

I am looking at getting a crashed damaged ph1 clio 172 and taking all of the front end. engine, sub frame, suspension, brakes, wiring loom, rear axle etc and putting it into my 1.2 ph1 clio. I am a mechanic so all work will be done by myself and i know its not worth the money but i think it is and it will give me more experience so no haters saying it not worth it and just buy a 172. Will every thing just drop in or will welding and fabrication be needed. I am not bothered by welding or making/getting parts to fit, i am really interested in doing this and it will be a good Thread to read if it gets done it the future. Thanks Jay...

fits straight in everythings the same, jobs much easier doing it the way your doing with a crash damaged car as basically your just re shelling the 172 straight over

What do you mean but that ? :S and thanks

Most people do it without thinking it through, like it's a quick weekend project for a couple of numpties who don't know which end of a screwdriver to hold, or assuming they can not tell insurance and save money, or just have no reason to do it bearing in mind you can pick up a 172 for £1000 these days... other things like that anyway.

As your reason is to get some experience to help your career, then go for it !!

Oh right, yeah i know it will take a while as i've never done something like this but it is for experience and i will learn alot from this project should be good. I've seen 172's go for little money but i would rather build my own if you know what i mean. Thanks for reply and hopefully should be getting the project in the next couple of months
