Did you have to change all the engine looms? Did you take the servo out to get them out?

yes mate

same as on mine and on any conversion really. You gotta remove full dashboard too.

you have to loosen the servo but not fully remove it

Fantastic turn around, well done..

Really like the colour coding. Brings the look of the VR up to date. looks fresh IMO.

Right folks, update!!!
As you know, got the VR lump out of the donor, fully cleaned and re-wrapped the loom, got the 8v lump outta mine, fully cleaned the disgusting bay and got the VR in, wired up and running in 2 days

By Friday tea time I was just waiting on my mid section box for the exhaust to come through the post which was meant to have been posted on Wednesday morning, found out Friday night it had been nicked so it was panic stations

Had to work Saturday morning so didnt get back til half 11, rung Tony Banks in Leeds about getting a mid section pipe made up and he said come down now (11.45 Saturday Morn) and by 12.45 it was on the car along with my newly aquired Sebring backbox (Which by the way is F-ing LARGE)

Took her for a proper test drive Saturday aft with Kells to go get my Tyres and its FOOOOKING IMMENSE!!!!!
ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT

Heres some pics
