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. |
