Stock EG or modified?
I am new to the import scene and just wanted to say WHAT UP! Anyways I was wondering what your opinions were regarding buying a stock EG or one with an engine swap? How do you know that the work has been done correctly? I really want to start with a clean canvas if you know what I mean. But I am not sure if it is better to get one with a swap already
Suggestions please

i think u kinda answered your own question. if u dont know who did the swap, you cant tell the quality of the work. they may have taken shortcuts and the like. if its modded at all, the car was probably driven hard. its always best to buy stock. preferably from older drivers who dont race their cars

Your question is like being born rich or becoming rich.
Being born rich is like having everything from the get go but never knowing whats it like on the other side.
Becoming rich is like having everything you want eventually, but you also know whats it like not having money. and what you had to do to get there.
so Buying a stock car and then working on it is like the second option knowing how you started out then knowing what you have made/accomplished
