I did this conversion on my old car, you will need:
Engine
Gearbox of the 1.2 will fit so thats fine
you need a non pas drivers side front engine mount.
Transponder and chip
And someone who is good with wires

Patients if you are doing the wiring yourself, I lost my temper a few times doing it

doesn't sound that complex XD selling the car soon, i think 1.4 is a lot more appealing that a 1.2, ive also blow the headgasket and i cant be bothered with the repairs. lol ooops!

Na, the cat is right after the manifold if you look...
So basically from manifold to about the mid silencer is different
