I dont think you will be able to find one. Economy isnt very good right now, if people have one they will drive it till its dead, especialy if its a fun car. Your best bet would be to find a paseo and swap a engine into it, even used and not rebuild those 4EFTE engines are in preaty good shape, if u wanna go crazy then rebuild it.

Im also looking to get my hands on a Convertible Paseo but I have rarely seen even a non convertible one. People drive em till they fall appart. Damn 3ee engines are preaty tough. I like my tercel but paseo is a bit sexier looking.

Well from what i know 4Efte just needs a wiring harnes hooked up right to the tercel one, Engine bolts right into tercel or paseo, right into 3ee mounts. Then parts are taken off and swaped from regular tercel or paseo engine onto the new engine, i dontknow which realy.

The car can be bought online or w/e for around 2000-500$ craigslist is good

And 4efte can be bought on ebay i saw them around 2000$ It comes with everything, i dont know what its missing. It will likely need to be disassembled and redone, i would check its compression and redo head gasket anyway meanwhile checking the inside of the engine. They are preaty tough, so even one thats old can probably still run as well as any old car. It comes with a 5 speed transmission which i think bolts into same spot and hooks up to the 2 regular cables. Im not sure about that one.

Then you have to manufacture your own AIR INTAKE.

I would also fix the common problems with the car

It can be done cheap or right. I saw on some site, somewhere in florida people do a swap for like 2500$, you drive your old car there, Paseo in your case, and you drive out with a salvage engine. They help u hook it up. I think its form a simular forum, i would love to meet those folks too but i dont have money.

Hope that helps, check out on STICKEYS in the forum for info about engines and stuff.

you can find 4eftes for 1200 shipped to your house everyday. when i got mine i sent the harness off to be made and that's it. didn't have to pull any parts off the old 3e. the 4e went in the car with original oil, tranny fluid, and spark plugs and the sob fired right up after i got the igniter grounded lol thanks bill. but its not hard at all it was my first engine swap and i did it alone.

get the sand out of your vagina and get it done
