Hello All, I have a silver 2002 corolla ascent hatchback that was badly damaged by a drunk driver when it was parked on the side of the road. It's been in the garage for somewhere around 7 years, I've always thought I would try and repair it (it wasn't insured and the drunk driver left the country before anyone could chase him for money, there were about 5 cars written off and property damage as well!). It's done about 130, 000 km's. My crafty plan is to get a 'compatible' corolla thats done a lot of km's very cheaply ($1000 - $2000) and transfer the engine/transmission/interior etc. Does anyone have any hints, tips, warnings or other advice on this plan? Thanks in advance, Stuart
