is the front of the hood fucked up or is it just the picture? either way should be a nice project car.

EDIT: nevermind…need a new hood on that thing.

If people can fit a 460 into a pinto, i’m sure a small 4cyl like the 4g63 will fit perfectly in that car. Just a little bending and cutting and you’re golden. Wait a minute, you need something reliable right? might as well forget the 4g63. 😃

heh…the only fairly easy swap for the Swift is a Suzuki Sidekick/Geo Tracker 1.6 engine. There’s not much of an advantage to it… A little more peak HP + torque, but you lose a couple thousand RPM and it’s definitely a much weaker engine.

You would… you weren’t around on PittRacing to hear about the other 1,000 project cars he had. 😃

thanks for the support…

i’m going to be master of mig welding by the time I’m done with this thing. I tore the entire interior out to get an idea of what I’m dealing with… I have some work ahead of me. The rockers are rough, and there’s a hole in the floor :eek3: .

As for the hood, it needs to be replaced… but since I have a pretty long road ahead of me (rust repair, clutch, exhaust, etc…) I’m going to save replacing the hood for last. There’s a group buy for carbon fiber hoods coming up on TeamSwift soon, but if the CF hood isn’t much lighter than the stock one, I’m not going to blow $400+ on one.

I was thinking about the CF hood because Metro/Sprint/Firefly hoods don’t fit (different headlights + grill). So I have to buy a Swift hood… which feel like they’re made out of tinfoil and are usually rusty.
