So how much for the entire conversion, including the engine, parts and labour (roughly)?

Luke, you don't have to declare your bike accidents. Try getting a company that accepts bike NCB (I can't remember if you have any). But lil_g from here is paying £2300 FC on an XE Corsa without accidents, so I do think you're gonna get fucked big time....

With regards to buying a car with XE already done, you'd have to be wary of who's done the conversion, if they've bodged it etc...

I'm happy I don't live near Dartford.

With you the roads, I'd be scared that you would crash into me or something.
