i've got soo used to the car being 4wd i'm not really to keen on ditching it

but i'm looking at another pwoerplant where 4wd is going to mean a lot of changes so want to stick to the tried and tested easy rwd layout as it's both tried, tested and cheap

but i don't think i've got the skills to drive it fast without the security of having the 4wd set up

thing is, the estate body is a bit of a mess, but the engine is cracking, so i just want to drop the engine into a body that's good while i get the shell sorted and then put it in again, but is it worth all the hassle?
