As most of you already know, i lost my timing belt a couple of weeks ago. So, i decided to buy a different motor and i am in the process of doing the swap. Heres the first picture i decided to take:

Heres a bad pic of the motor i got:

It is a rebuilt 9A (2.0 16v) with a 1.8 p&p head and a motronic injection swap. I am not using the motronic for now but using my old fuel injection. Thats as far as i have gotten on my own in two days work, and keep in mind, i have no idea what i am doing and my father is helping so thats why i know its right.

---Update---
We decided to take a break on the car for a few days :( because its soo cold here, woke up this morning and the temp was -4 or so and its too hard to keep the garage heated with just one fire stove in the center of it.

More Updates Later....

---Update---
I finally got the motor out, here are some pics:

You should probably sell it locally then, cause nobody is going to pay more than 150 dollars for a 16V block that burns oil.
