very nice clean car mate looks like a lot of works gone into it

how much did the manual conversion cost overall?
and was it much hassle?
thinking of doing one soon

Thanks mate yeah a lot of work for sure.
Picked up the conversion for $1200
Fitting was $600
Also put in a Heavy Duty clutch at the same time so that was extra too.
Was an issue with not having the right bearing, and got given the wrong slave cylinder but that was sorted, it was a bit of a headache but well worth the hassle in the end, I'm never having an auto car ever again I guarantee that.

Definitely do it, you'll never look back!

Thanks mate its comments like yours that make doing all the work to cars worth it.
Yeah the steering wheel looks mint, took me about 2 years to get around to it but did it in the end, its way better than the vt wheel.
I love the rims, but I would love some 20" Supersports on it.
The VX Calais Garnish sets off the back end, the standard VX Garnish is just too plain and boring.
The wheel is just bolt on, I'm surprised more people haven't done it actually.
