I assume you're taking the engine loom with the donor engine as well? (this will avoid any faff with sorting the reverse switch wiring)
Hmm i had not thought about doing that - will see if that is possible :)

How did your conversion go? Did you manage to get the complete list of parts needed from donor car?

Thanks for asking - i have not done the conversion but have most of the parts and access to a donor car with all the other parts still required.
The more i have driven the auto the more i am inclined to keep it that way but im still going to get all the parts ready incase i change my mind or decide to sell the car at some point in the future - but again that is very unlikely.
