u'll need to source all the bits to do the conversion and then weld on some brackets onto the passenger's side rear turret to mount the motor. we looked at doing this to vix's, but it was a lot of work.

sounds like it ............

actually i thought it looked dooable.  a couple of spots of weld for the motor on that rear inner arch and the rest looked like between me and diz we would get there.  it looked alot easier then doing a polo dash conversion (dizzies idea of easy!).

the only reason i didnt is cos i couldnt find a buyer for the hood it came with and money was a little tight at the time.

its still on my mods list

this one is on EBAY at the moment :

looks perfect.  go for it!  u can give us a 'how to' after as well

looks to have all the right gear in there, and I know Gibby would be interested in buying the window switches off the lucky winner.
Power hoods are great for the pose value if nothing else, and makes getting the wind in your hair that much easier. Go for it.

i will watch it for the next couple of days ---- not paying the world for it !
