My 2000 Neon

I've never done this before, but since it the first Neon I ever work on, I figure I just document and see how it turns out.

I got the car with a hole in the block, at this point is useless so, I will be using my 2003 as a donor, it's only got 20k miles. As soon as I'm done, the car will go to my daughter, she started driving and needs a car.

I already had some questiones answered and I know it's going to be a long road, but it should be worth it. So, it begins,

The car,

Too bad it's in rough shape, Salsa Red is an awesome color. Good luck!

Are you going to be doing an engine swap or fixing up your current one?

Hey Tam,

It's going to be an engine swap, I got a 03 that has 20k, but was hit hard in the back and it's going to be my donor car. I will be using the engine, computer and all the wiring, while I'm at it; I will also change the interior since it's in better condition. Here are some more photos,

Rob.

Here is some of the progress, the original interior was dark gray. The car is done and driving. I need to have it painted but it runs nice,
