  1. Morning all, I know the actual conversion has been done to death, and there are prices floating about, however most seem to be pretty out of date. So I'm looking to get my 1.6 converted to a gti6, but being in the armed forces (and the car in storage at the mo) I need to be able to get a quote, give it to someone for a while, then pick it up as and when it's done. I know there are a few guys on this forum who do the conversions, so if any of you are willing to give me a rough price, it'll give me something to think about, and hopefully act upon! The car is currently in dry storage in Lincoln, with a healthy 1.6 running a set of twin 40 Dellorto carbs. I'm looking to have a gti6 engine, with 6 speed box, fitted. Either a known good, or to have cambelt, tensioners etc done before it goes in. The 1.6 and carbs that come out can be sold to fund/bring down the price of the conversion. As well as the full conversion, I would ideally like to collect the car with a 12 month MOT on it, too. To pass it would likely need the wishbone bushes changing (an advisory from last year). Ideally, whilst the engine is being changed I would like the engine bay derusted (there isn't any visible rust) and painted (matching paint supplied by myself). As said, being in the forces I don't have much time to organise things, which is why I'd like to be able to drop it off, pay some money and collect it when it's done. However at the same time, I wouldn't really have a deadline. So if it's something that could be done in spare time/evenings to drag it out and make it a bit cheaper, I'm all for that! If you've taken the time to read this, thanks! Ross.
