Re: I have a TT swap question...

It would be my first major project, I would have help of a very good mechanics for anything I run into I couldn't do, I would have lots of time to do it.
Are the manuals, write ups, and specs easy to get a hold of? Will I be able to find a good manual front clip, or will I be able to buy it part by part?

Any input on whether you think this would be a doable project for me and anything on my other questions would be appreciated.
Well, most of the people on this forum will tell you that it isn't worth the hassle and cost and to just sell your N/A and buy a TT. Do you have any particular attachment to this car? Was it given to you by a long lost relative? If not, save your time and money by selling the N/A and buying a decent TT. If you add together the cost of your N/A + the cost of the TT swap, it will equal more than the cost of selling the N/A and just buying a TT.

This cost difference will become much more apparent if something goes wrong like it did to Jason.
