 |
|
Hey, You may remember me, prolly not. Anyway, I had a Gem (TX Coupe) which was gonna cost me too much to fix, so that's not happening. But now i'm seriously looking at a 4 door gem (TE maybe) with a 2lt piazza engine in it (there are quite a few piazzas round here in NZ).
Has anyone done this conversion, and how much, not including the piazza engine, did it cost you? Did you have to change other parts of the car too, other than the engine (gear box, diff, etc)?
Thanks for all your help,
zep |
