4. How much is a 1g with a rod knock worth? It also needs paint. The interior seems pretty good for its age. 105K on the clock.
1. I've seen it done on 2g's before. Fairly good amount of work, you need a awd trans/transfer case, driveshaft, rear end...imo it's cheaper to just buy an awd.
2. My favorite year is a 1992. It comes with the 6 bolt, overall good car if it was taken care of throughout its life. plus i like the body style.
3. Depends on what you want. you can get your hands on a jdm motor for ~800-1000 bucks if you want something stock, but if you were to have a motor rebuilt, you can have it done up the way you want it w/ performance stuff, race bearings, basically all the goodies.
4. Depending on condition paint/interior/history. between 2-3000 dollars for awd's, fwd's tend to go for less. but again it all depends on how bad a shape that motor is and the overall condition of the car, so the price can vary
