Hi guys I have been waying up my options and I'm a bit unsure on how this would help or hinder my boy.

If I could get hold of a '99' matiz complete car that's runs for say 500 bucks, would I be able to take out my f8b and slot the matiz and the 5 speed directly if not what would I have to change to fit it and does it need engineering?? I haven't an idea about cars cars but the amount of shit I have had to fix on mine it's becoming easier and I'm getting a bit more confidence.

Any help appreciated guys

Cheers in advance,
John

F8C five speed on an F8B has been done, but it was apparently a difficult job with plenty of customisation/fabrication.
