Well about 2 weeks ago i got some door pods made for the speakers and cleaned and re-did the front grille and repainted it and also finished off the front splitter to go with the front bumper till the end and thats about it, i've been really busy with college lately and the car has been sitting for 2 weeks since my clutch is gone and it only has a little bit left in it and i'm keeping this bit to take me to the shop for the engine swap tomorrow, but i still can't decide if i should go for the 1.6 turbo or the 2.0/2.2 (whichever i find), i'm not a welding professional and welders here aren't that crafty so i'm afraid the welder will mess up that engine mount that has to be modified (the one that sticks out of the belt cover), please give me feedback and your opinions i'm really having a hard time deciding since this is my only car.

Oh and here are some pics for the pods and splitter

Today was a happy day and i'm glad to announce that the engine swap began

Me and MMamdouh went to the mechanic who did the nubira 2.0 swap, and we picked the new 1.6 and we only had time to remove the old engine today

Tomorrow i'll finish college and go to the mechanic and we will start dropping the 1.6 in, and of course i'll take pics of everything and add them later, hope everything goes ok

Oh forgot to mention we will be upgrading the brakes and suspension too, i got the opel vectra Discs, nubira pads, nubira master cylinder and espero calipers which should have good stopping power

Thnx a lot guys glad you like it, today we prepped the new engine and dropped it in place but still didn't connect any vacuum lines or the A/C or even the wiring

we'll do all that tomorrow but I'll leave all the details for a separate topic about the swap and pictures of the whole process, right now i'm just crossing my fingers and hoping everything goes ok and we don't face any problems or a check engine light
