Buying a parts car
Im in the process of buying 2 FC's, one for parts, and one to install them all into.
The 1st one is $1000, has a working engine, good body, suspension, 16 inch alloys, no PS, AC, or interior. The other car is a 10th Anniversary for 1600, everything works but the engine is about to go out...needs some body work.
What's the median price for rebuilding an engine with a streetport? I want to create one good running car, and then maybe try rebuilding the spare bad engine myself just for experience

Are you going to use it for track? I the first one a TII? what year? The price all depneds on what you want to do when you rebuild the car. If your going for pure track you will be dropping a few bucks.

Something to have as a nice daily driver, with some 'spirited driving' mixed in. A good reliable stablemate for my FD that will hit low 14's without costing too much. Im not too well read on the 2nd Gens...is it possible to put the turbos from the TII on the NA engine that will be rebuilt and dropped into the 10 AE?

I'd just buy the 10th ae and get a new engine put in. $2-3k? a non turbo parts car is almost useless. everying on the engine and drivetrain is different. including the engine itself.
