neilsmith Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Cheers. No it was streight forward to do, also had to change the dash and all the dash wiring etc but it only took me and my mate 7 hours to do the whole thing, thats taking the standard engine out, dash, exhaust, radiator etc. Very easy conversion to do and well worth it.
