Yeah from what I've read it's not a fun job. Have you done one of them before?

Can I have the price for the following item:-

- Rear seats (Red)
- Sunvisors (Red)
- Red roof lining (if there is no sun roof in your car)

I can take the Greddy lip and give it to HondaHardy if I was to pick up those parts!

I have always wanted to chuck my H22 in it but have always lacked an engine and time. Now, potentially, all I lack is the time. Do any of you guys know anyone that's done this swap? And do we have a resident mechanic that wants to take this project on? Local to Bournemouth area would be good!

Yeah, Phil-Ted of @tramroadmotors (Wales)

is doing mine in several months time (probably 4), so we can let you know how that goes.

And once done, it will be a tried, tested, & documented formula so will be a simpler task for yourself hopefully!

Just collecting parts & saving £'s atm. Watch this space.

Here's mine as it stands right now anyway...

Will be good to have another 3rd on board @insanodano; there's only a few of us!
