Apologies for it not being a TradeMe ad, but this would be interesting, in many senses of the word. Not seen this conversion before, and given what I'd thought were electronic complexities, I'd probably never consider it.

However, taking the engine and gearbox, and presumably the entire wiring loom and all sensors and ECUs, it might not present such an issue to someone suitably experienced.

Good vid. Nice to see one that's a bit longer than usual!

That's cool, and a proper sleeper with the low spec compact body.

Looking at that info / video. I would very much doubt that this vehicle would pass a LVC in NZ. Some, maybe, alot of the work is very dodgy & unsafe in my opinion, and opinions are the same as arse holes

hell yes!  those engine mounts, and what he's done to the chassis rails.  doubleplusdodgy.

I don't disagree with the idea, just the poor execution of the build / mod
