its good but will cost £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£

some one else posted about this a while back.

CPC aka phil crouch has done them a couple of times, a few people have done it who post on here and i got involved in one years ago.

gettting the engine and box in is easy, the wiring, manifolds, brakes and the bastard jobs and will bump up the cost.

what kind of cost for the labour do u think? for the full convertion

[Kos]

just labour, drive in drive out

£2500 labour ( including wiring, brake servo set up etc )
£2500 engine and box ( good low minage ones )
£1000 for manifold and exhust system ( optional , but if you dick about with the original system it can be done for half that )
£1000 for other bits an peices ( rads, hoses, mounts, servos plus more, it adds up )

the people who have done this conversion are

ian332isport
old_skool_2002
buster
jhono
glen

and few more.

a half arsed effort may set you back £5000

exhaust is more than that imo

but yeah 6k diy.. so add another 2-3k on top for someone else doing it

[Kos]

exhaust is more than that imo

just rough estimates and figures dude

if some one goes silly with it it could end up costing them 10k
