hello romeo,
welcome to the forum.
The car looks a nice base for restoration.
You have to do a lot of work, but when ready you have a nice car to drive, and i think there are not many in Croatia.
Good luck.

Hi Romeo and welcome to the forum. It looks like you have yourself a really good project there! Great to see another Murena being restored. The engine you are fitting is the same used in the 205 GTi (at least according to wikipedia), which is a rather common conversion for 1.6 Murena's. The forum owner here has one, for example.

I'm sure we are all looking forward to following your progress and offer advice, should you need that!

Regards,
Anders

No. I think you will have to use the gearbox from the peugeot as well.... which means making new axles too...
