what happened to the hood?
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.
uhm… cool?
you remind me of my friend luke… he has all the cr\azy idea’s for a couple hundred dollar cars… geo spec… turbo k car… bla bla… the kid never does anything though just talks about it :blah:
You can swap a 4G63T in there right? Or am i thinking of another tiny hatchback?
you’re thinking of the Hyundai Excel
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.
it’ll get cleaned up right i got faith in ShalerPunk.
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.
:finger:
:bowrofl: :bowrofl:
:eek4dance a c/f hood on a suzuki swift? I could think of several better ways to spend $400 or whatever it would be
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.
