Thought i'd start a thread to run as i do my conversion and build so everything i do can be run past guys who've done it before and hopefully who will stop me doing any stupid/unnesscecary mods.
I have bought myself a 1997 ST GQ wagon with a RD28 that has blown head gasket in, along with a 1989 Turboed TD42 (has done 350k, but was rebuilt at 250k when turbo went on, came out of an old grandpas GQ, who had it for aaageerrrsss and seems perfectly clean - He was crying when took wreck, he had to say goodbye to his pride and joy when he rear ended some1 and bent chassis), and gearbox & crossmember & most bits that i think i will need to convert.
I have just got my inspection certification today, so will be starting to pull apart very shortly. plan is to strip all RD28 stuff, mount TD42 gearbox & tailshafts (should all bolt in im assuming) - then try and organise absolutely everything I need (clutch, engine mount mod, etc.) then get engine in with the help of some mates.
