    is it a V8? if it isn't, I don't think it would be worth it. Probably a better conversion would be to find a wrecked R8 and transplant all the running gear. The uniqueness of a 6 speed manual V8 wagon would make it pretty worth it, if you're in it for props.

    I sourced a rough price and even for mates rates it was looking at approx 4-5k...

    In my case it would be cheaper to buy a whole new car which happens to be manual already
