Is there any in the northeast that specializes in engine conversions?
i currently own a 1.2 8v B and im looking for more power now and would like a 1.6 16v fitted but i cannot seem to find anywhere in the NE that does this.
any tips or recommendations are welcome

a engine conversion all in, will prob be more than buying a car already done, thats fact
the cheapest way would be to sell yours and buy a 1.6!

well diy will be cheaper
i mean if you take it somewhere to get done properly, as his asking
saves expensive labour rates!
you can by a 1.6 corsa sport for 1000...
engine conversion would cost more than that

yeah will end up costing more than buying a 1.6 sport but it wouldn't be the same if you know what i mean.
i have had my car over 2 years now and its damn hard to find a clean unrotted B.
iv seen newer B's in terrible condition compared to mine and a few people on here that has seen my car could vouch for me on that.
