Step 1 = sell it
Step 2 = buy something quicker.

Much easier and a lot less ballache, starting with a 1.4 means everything needs changing.

Your insurance would be higher with the conversion car than what it would the 8v or 16v as standard, so pointless idea. If you really like converting then find a project more worthwhile.
