As some of you may know, my 02 liberty met the face of an embankment and unfortunately it has caused 'minor' chassis damage. I've been told it can be bent back but my luck with that car hasn't been the greatest so I'm not counting on it.

Because I needed a car I went out a got a pretty decent deal on a 99 rev-a 2 litre.

Now I'm unsure as to wether I should start taking parts from the damaged liberty such as exhaust, coilovers, wheels etc and put them on the 99 along with the 2.5 litre engine.

Or if I should just drive this until my 02 is back up and running then turn it into a project/daily.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

First things first, how much money you got to spend? Trust me, cars are endless money pits and owning two cars is not easy!

Without knowing your two cars it's hard to say.
But I will add, anything that has had a buckled chassis repaired just never quite feels right. Whether it's all in the mind or not depends on each individual case. But coming from it at this angle Id swap all the goodies over.

The general attitude towards the twin turbos is a deterrent for me

Depends who you talk to about their opinion on twin turbos, a couple of the guys on here have them, myself included; and love them.

Just a personal preference really.
