So I'm just gunna run it into the ground and buy one already done next year. Fookin' plan. 
Far too much effort required tbh. It's just not gunna happen considering I have no garage. Anyone ever done an XE conversion without ever using a garage or anywhere to store parts what-so-ever?

rich? he put a 2.0l in flips old car
all you need is a 2.0l donor car, mounting kit, just use standard shafts with inner cv's if your on a budget
wiring isnt hard, only a few wires to sort, bout 8 to match u?
if you wanted a hand, id help fitting

OK you're tempting me... I know Rich would lend a hand 'cus he's cool like that... You reckon it's better buying a donor car rather than just the engine?

I'd get one already done, only reason I wanted to do my old Corsa was because it had a few more bits done to it. Yours just has springs and wheels effectively.
Also that damage on the front...
