I have just done this on my syncro, the only down side is the cost of all bits, lots of bits needed to do it properly.

Andy's right, I'm still collecting all mine to convert 1.9wbx syncro to diesel been. And to do it all properly adds up.

I'd go as far as saying it might even be cheaper to put a subaru in there...

you could get nicked here for overweight, i think the trailer can only be 80% of the tow vehicle weight when the trailer is fully loaded.
