Spannerboy is on here too = From our wiki =

Spannerboy (Simon), Guildford - tel 07817 865 722 (full address not known at this time) 80-90 member Spannerboy (Simon) says = I do everything except bodywork, so all engine including conversions, scoobys are my speciality, I do lots of upgrades like I keep braided hoses in stock, lots of powerflex, avo suspension kits, etc. I keep many new and seconhands bits in stock, I hate not having a part.. Ghost123uk : says = Simon has a good reputation on Club 80-90, many folks have used him and often post back to say THANKS Simon for your help. I note he specialises in Suburu conversions.

Just doing my best,

anyone know any garages that could do the conversion for me?
i dont really know what im looking for with regards to quality of parts, dont wana buy a loads of what i think are solid bit to be told there all duds.

gona try and go for a 1.9 , sounds to be best for what i want

As said before, the best bet is to try and get a full diesel donor van, strip what is needed and sell the rest. If you cant get a 1.9td motor in a van you need to get a car with one in, sell the rest, then sell your Aircooled motor and make some money back.

So best bet
1 Get a diesel van with a good 1.9

or get a diesel van
1 buy a van
2 strip what you need and break/sell rest to recoup some money
3 buy a car with a good 1.9td
4 strip what you need sell/break the rest of the car to recoup some money
5 remove your Aircooled motor
6fit all diesel bits to convert your van
7 sell your Aircooled motor to recoup some money.
8 enjoy your diesel van

As for a garage near you, I have no idea, but the second option would require someone willing to do the breaking/removing all parts etc etc
