WOW. rep to you as I know it's very very difficult to do that conversion. I saw some write-ups on Preludepower and they were really hard. :o

Thanks. It was a little daunting looking at the write ups and seeing lude's with the dash removed, but decided it was worthwhile so just waited for a long weekend.
In fairness mine was easier than the US write ups show as I didn't have to convert from RH to LH drive. Was just a matter of changing parts and building up one wiring loom out of the UDMK and JDM ones.
The most difficult bit was getting the heater hoses off at the bulkhead.
Yeah I am well chuffed now its all in. :P

I don't think so as I didn't really take photos during the work to help explain. Happy to help anyone else that is doing this conversion though.
