its simple if you got every thing off custard ?
then drop the auto subframe out (throw it away) and bolt up the manual one, you will also have to swap over the pedals and install the clutch master cylinder oh and the gear selector.
with the auto it will have a switch on the brake pedal to ensure the engine cant be started unless you have your foot on the brake, with that its a simple case of soldering the 2 wires together and thats pretty much it

It would be pretty easy for you mate, Just drop the complete engine and front subframe in one go and transfer it over, (The auto and manual subframes are different) you would have to change the pedal box too, or you can just strip it down on the car to add the clutch pedal and clutch master cylinder. Shouldn't take more than a weekend if you had a hand |

Don't chuck the Auto subframe away. I'll take it off your hands if your bid is successful.  |

2 sugars and a five pound note stuck underneath  The auto set ups can fetch good money on ebay as they are getting pretty rare now, the metal part of the engine mounting are no longer available and I sold just that part for £50 |

Only the one cup then ! Well if this goes well will be tons of parts for sale as well as custard shell which would be good for a steel flip front as that is is good nic ( about the only metal in good nic )
