So I now have a 97 D1 auto 300tdi with a smashed in roof and front doors etc but probably save-able engine and transmission on a good chassis....
...and a late 96 D1 manual with a pretty good body (couple of sill and back floor patches needed) and pretty fair chassis but no engine in.....
Do I a) put the 96 manual body on the 97 auto engine and chassis
or b) put the 97 engine and auto tranny etc into the 96 body
or c) some combination of the above ?
obviously this is and can only be a massively broad generalisation as one would need to see the respective vehicles and parts to know. But on the whole, does anyone have any remarks based on experience of the scenarios ?
