Just wondering if anyone has done this conversion and how hard it was to do. Also does anyone have info about the rear suspension on a TG wagon and how it deffers from a sedan.

This topic has been done to death, i have gone through it and copied and pasted enough info into a text document to show Elmer Fudd how to do it. Very easy, and the most difficult part of doing it will be
1) finding the time - prolly 3-4 hours for a first timer
2) making sure you have the right spline tailshaft to match your gearbox
3) sourcing the fiddly bits such as console, pedals, screws etc.

Thanks man. I've got just about everything from my old car just the shell I'm lookin at buying is automatic.

Do you have any idea of differences in suspension that i might have to take into consideration for a wagon. I'm thinkin about turning one into a rally car and I know the shock has been laid over to 45 degrees and the springs are a different length.
