Hey bud u ought to do engine conversions n swaps for ppl I be willing to pay u £160 to do a complete swap like engine out n in for sure!

Haha, somehow might be a bit more than that.  Conversions need extra work like brakes, shafts and looms, not a unplug everything and bolt all back up.

Ive done loads of conversions now and once you know what you doing, easy work.  I could do a 1.4-20v conversion on a golf mk4/bora in a day working hard.  Really isnt that much work.

I thought he said 8 hours removal and 5 to refit?  Thats 13hours.  Working days are nearer to 8 hours (which is what I could do a conversion in.)

Does their 13hours include uprating of brakes, exhaust and swapping looms and clocks over?
