Default Nissan Micra Sleeper

Hi lads, after finishing the fiesta turbo project, we have a 41k 5 door nissan micra on a Y reg (2000 reg?) to play with

We are hoping to sleeper it and even keep the 3 wheel trims and one steel wheel

Question is, what engines have u seen in these? was hoping for 2 litre turbo route and front wheel drive to save abit of work, but if its 4 wheel drive/ rear wheel its not a problem as my mate whos car it is, is an engineer/welder, all ideas welcome

Yes mate!, thats the great thing, my mates super talented, so nothing is out of the question!, only problem is, floorpans take a fair while longer to weld in, we really want to get it done in a weekend
