Jeff at 1st-Try (bigblockelcamino) swapped a 100hp motor I had into a car that had 50hp. > [@grandamld9](#): > > so im guessing you have a motor swap in there, when are you going to paint it? The interior looks brand new. Paint is going to be a while off. I have to sort out a couple little things, put tires on it, finish swapping over the Swift interior, and get it inspected. Then I’ll have the body work and paint done. > [@Be\_Rad](#): > > Get CustomandSounds to redo your valve cover and exhaust mani. that shit looks like ass! but other than that, 👍 lol. I’m going to take care of the aesthetics of the car after I’ve taken care of all the important things. ---

Will have to say this will be a fun care to drive. The thing scoots pretty good, Probably be a good sleeper as it should surprise a few people. It surprised me, I mean power to weight is definitely in its favor. Few little things to take care of and should be a kick a$$ car to blast around in. I was surprised the difference in the parts between the swift and metro. The parts were def a lot beefier on the swift, but rotted beyond repair. The brakes are huge, front and rear sway bars, 4 wheel discs, decent wraparound seats. ---
