okay now i cant unsee how TIE fighters look like modified and weaponized cable spools, initially only used for construction purposes. my head canon is that they were tough, and plentiful in used quantity for relatively cheap, and became pretty much the intergalactic version of those technicals that the taliban use.
jokes aside though, i’m not too familiar with these vehicles. like would like a motor rebuild be decently feasible or is this like the starfighter version of a used mercedes?

That might literally be their origin. Like the movie props that became well known as the TIE fighter shape, not their in universe origin.
If starfighters work like aircraft, an engine swap should be easy and normal.
