Hello UK friends!

As some of you might know I've always had the dream of putting a GT engine from a BG in my BA. Not just because I love the engine and it's a big improvement compared to my stock 1.5, but also because the mileage on the 1.5 is getting skyhigh and I am facing problems with that engine.

Well, it finally happened! I found a GT engine in great condition and bought it!

Together with some good friends we decided to plan a weekend off and attempt an engine swap!

As you can see, we have fitted the GT engine in the BA and it's looking lovely! Everything fits, now all that is left to do is the electronic part and I am missing some parts I have to take off of the BA 1.8 engine. Won't be too hard. We're hoping to have her running by the end of this week. Of course I will post a video of the first run. Can't wait!
