Default Converting to a facelift classic ????

How difficult is it, what needs to be done , is it possible, and how much time and effort will it need?

And if you want to go the whole hog, get new clocks, or buy some of those aftermarket white dial covers to convert them.

My cars in the bodyshop having a facelift done!! Fitted all the bits myself, easy peasy.

You'll also need new vents, and a new scoop!

And really to complete the conversion, a facelift front bumper!

How do you get the speedo to work with the electronic speedo, if you have a mechanical speedo?

Have you tried GradeA Subaru breakers at Hayfield, or Glenburgie Subaru breakers?

Both may be able to help.

thanks for help - got all bits sorted now, do the headlights need adjusters or will they fit with my old '93 adjusters, gave the body shop a pair of crystal headlights without motors and they are complaining that the adjusters no longer fit, if so wheres a good place for adjusters?
cheers
