Yeh you are better off using the VW box - adaptors for Scooby boxes are unproven and cost about the same as a rebuild.
A week - ha ha on these old Gals try 4 months - everything you remove/try to refit will have an issue, really.

I've just bought a legacy engine 2.5 I've been told that it's a 2 day job for a good mechanic can anybody recommend one who has done it before ?

Who told you it was a two day job - maybe with a team of four
You'll definitely need a runner, to get those little bits you forgot

r jes for all the bits you need subaru. cwp in the box can be changed for a reverse cut set of gears that will give you only 1 reverse. there`s a fair bit on the samba about it. sure a good awd road trans could be done useing the subaru box and a flipped front diff but it wont have the low gear you need to make it syncro capable. think youd be better off going audi quatro auto box if thats what you were thinking.

What's wrong with using VW Syncro parts and a rebuilt box from Aiden?
It'll all fit - but if you are converting from 2WD - you'll still need a pair of new front hubs and loads of other suspension bits
