Why don't people in the Midlands (or even better Northampton... or better Peterborough... better still, my road ) do the conversions?
Would save me the hassle of taking time off work and/or hiring a car in the meantime

yes larance did mine and it took him with me helping and watching about 24 working hours (over a few weeks in the snow in his back yard :lol he did an ace job and showed me everthing i know
as for my engine it been fitted into a the corsa D Scott is on about.
like scott said the corsa D we have just done took us around 16 hours and was 99% complete (we have to wait 24 hours for a rubber mount as we did not plan for the D mount to be so differant) we had planed alot and had ever part there we needed there (except the rubber mount)
