99 vito
Hi all my old 99 vito is on life support! As its rusty, leaking, and a pain in the rear!
BUT! I cant let her go! So with loads of enthusiasm and a touch of senial dementure i plan to cut a hole in the floor and fit either a 4x4 engine and transfer box , front and rear axles the full 9 yards! So ok? Im 60 year old pretty good with both ends of a spanner/hammer just looking for any advice/ help ( apart from telling me im mad!)
Thanks
 
Of course you're mad but don't let that stop you!

Way back when, I helped a friend put a mid mounted Jaguar V12 in a Ford Thames 400E. Sadly our ways parted before it was road legal but it was a self powered rolling vehicle. Lots of box section, welding and an anything is possible attitude were used in abundance.
 
Sounds like a great project, my only concern would be the condition of the bodywork of your 638 as I've owned them & know what they're like..

Its like asking Pablo Picasso to paint in a couple of foreground figures to finish off a John Constable- the best you can hope for is something by Pieter Breughel the Younger!;)
