Dezza's T5 Conversion Day

[Dezza]

Hi all. After the success of SnyperEB's MPI conversion day, plus the fact I am fairly useless with a spanner, I would like to make everyone aware of my T5 conversion day. Details are as follows:-

Saturday 18th November
9.00am

I will have a BBQ and will have beer, Jim Beam, and softdrink. It will be at my house, PM me for the address. Just hope it doesn't rain because I plan to do it in the driveway.

I've decided I may as well swap over the pedal box, since my heater core is fairly blocked, and being a dash out job, I can kill two birds with one stone. I might buy a new heater core and try to swap it over then as well. Let me know who's interested.

Hey dezza,
I know nothing about the conversion but am willing to lend a hand!
I am busy until lunch time so will be a little late.
Can you send your address...
Cheers

[Dezza]

Doesn't matter if you don't have any experience with T5 conversions, you're welcome anyway. Just hope thst a few people with T5 experience can make it anyway

[EA2BA]

I will be in for the fun, no T5 experience, but plenty of pulling dashboards out and generaly know my way around an EA, plus a i can throw a spanner around.
