ok, some of you may know that my car needs a new engine 
I have the donor engine, but, I have no idea how to swap it and i cant afford for a garage to do it. I've asked my mates and none of them want to do it.
So, basically is there anyone on here willing to help? :S
I dont expect it to be done for free, but it would have to be done on a weekend, and both cars cant travel, so it would need to be done at my house.
Its a straight swap, a 1.6 8v out, and a 1.6 8v in.
anyone interested?

What's the worst that can happen if you have a broken engine anyway.

You need to hire or borrow an engine hoist for a start.
