Sounds like the upgrade that happened to my van before I owned it. Do-able. A 1-y or AAZ conversion is what I think you could try googling...good luck.

Loads of info in the WIKI mate. Keep on coming with the questions though and dont be shy, very friendly bunch on here. I did the 1Y swap a couple of years ago and got loads of help and advice............dont struggle ! Last thing is where abouts in the world are you, dont give too many details (there are some "strange" collectors out there) but the county would be good. You never know one of us T3ers might be a stones throw away !
