Biodiesel: berdeng enerhiya sa Pilipinas: I recently bought a surplus Fiat Fiorino Mk1, driveline is OK but body with a lot of rust, with the same 45hp 1.3D of a Fiat Uno. Was willing to patch its rust holes but now considering to swap its motor into an Aveo. Would it worth the effort?

I recently bought a surplus Fiat Fiorino Mk1, driveline is OK but body with a lot of rust, with the same 45hp 1.3D of a Fiat Uno. Was willing to patch its rust holes but now considering to swap its motor into an Aveo. Would it worth the effort?

It's actually not the best option at all but can handle an Aveo reasonably. I'd rather get an Isuzu C180 or a Toyota 2L. But if you're going with Fiat why not to also consider the 1.7D or the 1.7TD?

Feel free to question
