as for how long to do the swap it's a bit of a 'how longs a piece of string'. depends on how well you know one end of a spanner from the other, how much you can do yourself etc etc...

hi yeah to be honest the whole shell is scrap now!! we sent it for welding and when we had a look at the work he done we decided to take it. the extra peice he has made that goes on an angle is very soft metal and you can bend it with your hands ;)

and he has cut the bulkhead for the turbobox but it has about an inch all the way round :thumbsup: and yet again filled the holes with low guage steel!!!

make sure when you cut it you get it to the mm as you dont want to loose more strengh.

cheers
