   They are both 3 plug cars so its pretty straightforward
   
   Take the engine, loom and ECU from the VTS, and implant into the VTR. Use the existing sensors on the VTS lump. You can run the VTR radiator etc, but it's recommended to swap the a VTS rad also (but I'm guessing that's knackered from the crash...)
   
   Enjoy and keep us updated!

   its my vts he has, hit a lorry tyre doing 80mph on the dueller. only damage is radiator, bumper plus chassis leg is a touch bent. well where the towing eye is. think he was asking should he rebuild the engine, put a new clutch in it, ect ect. hes my mate and was mainly in it so knows it runs alright and pulls fine

   Before you remove any motors from either car unlock the ecu! Search the forums it will show you how, very simple
