Default 1991 KF laser sedan to TX3 spec

is it possible to take my girlfriends KF laser POS 1.6 auto and make it effectively a 4 door TX3? like pop in the BPT and the g series FWD gearbox?
and how much would i be looking at in terms of price?

Without knowing much, I'd say it would be a cheaper exercise just to buy a TX3.

If Vippin doesn't post in this thread, PM him as he knows heaps about mods when it comes to Lasers

Sure is, and it's not difficult either. You'll need the engine and box of course, brake upgrade ( get discs all round from a TX3 ) fuel tank, lines etc, ECU + loom and some engine mounts.

If you do it all yourself i'd say $4k-$5k.
Decent engine = $1.5-2k
Box = $800
Other random **** = $800-$1200
Consumables = $ 200-$1000 depending on quality
etc etc
