Cheers sanchez!
It may have been a good read but 3 of the main pages have dissapeared....
Conversion requires alot of work. There's differnt ways of doing things depending what way you wana go. I've wanted a very road friendly route however there are problems to overcome. You need a fair amount of money on parts, some reasearch and a good amount of custom work.

Fair point.
But from a personal point of view, i would rather speak to the person who put it in and done the conversion, rather than someone who opened there cheque book.
(on any conversion, not just this one)

At the time I sorced most parts for the car and how I wanted it built, I didn't just open a cheque book.
This was done over 2 years ago now, since then I've worked on and around my engine so many times and have much greater mechanical knowlede and practical experience there isn't much I couldn't tell. Also many hours of speaking to my guy.
I'm not claiming to be most experienced just saying, I know exactly what my car is about.

It's a great car shame about the driver:slap:lol.
Dan's knowledge on this car is top notch and the amount of custom work is unreal but he has had issues along the way and is still rectifying these now. If you want this route and dont have any mechanical experience your fucked if something goes tits up
