   what 1.6
   
   think you might need to use the 1.6 engine mounts
   
   id uprate breaks
   
   rest should be ok

   brakes is the only main issue but they are nearly the same but go for 306 brakes imo

   you just use everything from the 1.6 donor car and you can't go far wrong. Best bet is to get the complete front from a rear-ender writeoff
