Ive been thinking a lot about converting. I have the free cash to carry it out but this was money saved towards a new car (poss a willy or mint hybrid if and when available next year) but im getting increasingly tempted due to issues with my current set-up.
My main issue is that i need a car and cant run two so would be looking to do it as quick as possible. Obviously i would put a cambelt water pump and clutch on it before i put it in but how long would it take to carry out the swap realistically bearing in mind it would be outside my house?
Im a qualified mechanic and so im quite confident doing this sort of work and have all the tools i would need (apart from a crane!) but ive never done this conversion before and was wondering how people have got on in the past, is it do-able in a weekend?
