Ball joint front End, What ever Auto you want to run, are you going Floor Shift or Column - then the shifter, linkages..., Motor plus all accessories (ie starter, carby etc..) depending on motor condition you may need to reco - or put in a red motor rad, seatbelts, dheater / demister... speak with and engineer whether you need a collapsible column, disc brakes, brake booster, fire wall or remote mounted (easiest), eh sump.. possibly larger trans tunnel, gearbox crossmember (fabed to suit), thats all i'm thinking at the moment, speedo cable...

Guys/ Girls & EK owners is it worth getting a sticky made for the changes to a red motor of all thats required?

Cheers

A sticky for the costs would come up with 100 different prices for the same thing

There is a HR disc front $350 down in SA but the cost of transport might now suit you, this all the fun stuff you have to work out

It is an easy enough thing to do, but for an auto it is a little more work than the norm. Unless you are lucky enough to have an auto body to start with. Trans tunnels in manuals are very restrictive.

But the best advice I can give you is to first have a look through all the members rides and search out red conversions. Work out exactly what you want, then speak to an engineer to work out what they want then go from there.
