1g 4g63t swap into nt 1g

[clizz3]

Not sure where to post this so move if need be. I have a 92 laser rs turbo that has body damage all on the passenger and rear. I'm not really in the mood to fix the body work so my question is will it be easier to fix the damage or swap into another shell? My dad has two 1st gen eclipses with solid shells but are non turbo. Would it be worth swapping motor and tranny from my car to one of his non turbo shells? I did some reasearch but I'm still not positive if its the worth the hassle. Thanks for your responses. I'll post pictures of both cars.

Poor Laser. If it were AWD I would certainly snag it from you.

The swap is very easy and straight forward. Just transfer the engine, wiring harness (with components), transmission and ECU as a whole. You'll also need the exhaust, driver side engine mount, and other minor things.

I performed the 4G37 to 4G63 with the harness, ECU, motor mount, and engine alone. It was all in all about a days worth of work and is certainly not the hardest thing to do. You have a full donor car so it will be rather cheap as well.
