Presumably for insurance cos the conversion wouldn't have had an engineers report. This used to be really common in Ireland where the motor tax was CC based until 2008. Bigger engines would be slipped into cars and nowt said about it. The difference between a 2.0l and a 1.6l could be about 300 euro a year.

Yea if anything like the bigger Fourtrak, ie everywhere; the boot floor, sills, arches, outriggers. Tough as anything if you kept the rust under control.

I mean, people are bidding 1100+ for a rotten Ford Onion so maybe the little sunny is worth a look? Be interesting to seem what that makes. Potentially a very nice car but they can hide horrors. There's another super-clean red one that found it's way onto eBay and has been getting relisted for the past few years at around £8000 BIN.
