First start in Wiki -

Then search on here and then head over to the Brickyard where there's a sub-forum for this.
I had mine done last year - fantastic!!

150 lol. Sounds great fun.
The florida is awesome for camping and using as a base for work - but I do miss the kind of fun your having!

Which is the easiest one to do gti or 20v as I'm thinking of replacing my 1.9DG which doesnt have enough power to get the gipsy up hills
I've found a 1998 gti which is a runner so I could drive the car for abit to see how good it is.

Look up t3panel's thread in the bus park on Brickyard, it is about as near to a step by step guide as you will get.
As Hutch says, it is a pretty easy conversion, especially if you don't try to do the dash as well.
