Reply With Quotetransfer all the fuel lines..over for starters and swap tanks if its a jdm in shitty sprinter.. You wanna sell any parts from the shitty sprinter
i currently have to hachis. one with a very nice body and interior, and the other with an excelent motor and running gear, but shit body.
i want to put the motor, brakes, suspension, and all other goodies from shit body sprinter into good body sprinter.
the good body sprinter is a stock aus spec hachi. 4ac.
im not sure of what parts i will need. i would assume not many, cause they are already in one complete car.
this is all the info i have.

once i have done the swap, i will be selling all the left overs. at this point i dont know what im gonna need and not need from each hachi.
Let me get this straight....
- You have 2x Sprinters. 1x of which has the 'mad' engine and good running gear but shitty body, the other has shit running gear but good body. Correct?
- You wish to put all the running gear from the shitty bodied car into the good one? Yes?
- You were quoted $6k for a simple swap over job? Someone is trying to take you to the cleaners...
Have a crack at it mate. If the shitty bodied car is running, its only a matter of swapping everything over (wiring etc too) and it'll be fine. $6k is a bit outrageous if what i've listed above are infact the circumstances.
However, there is a fair bit of work (hours wise) in swapping it all over, hence the excessive quote. I am with most others on this one, attempt it yourself. If it looks like a 'Shit, am i gonna remember how that went' situation, take photos of it and draw diagrams etc, its not that hard!
+1 on that !
How about I do all the work for you, and keep the shitty bodied AE86 afterwards, no charges?
Do know if that's honestly fair, but I'd do it, have plenty of time at the moment.
hey bud. if you are serious about your offer, i would be keen. and would even throw in a set of aw11 mr2 seats. hit me up, if your keen.
i would be looking at doing the engine swap myself, but dont have a garage.

You have a PM
so is the car just a rolling shell?...
you can always make it cheaper by taking the current engine out, dropping the new engine in on your own...do what takes no brain to do, that will save people charging u with labour, then with stuff you know u cant do, u pay people
You talked to John Bates (Sprinterman68) already ?
It might sound like a bit... but if you want to get it done right the first time and dont have time/resources to DIY.. then John is your man.
Probably the best AE86 guy there is. People swear by his work.
