Lee, you are right, a parts car is key as there are tons of little things from TRs that need to be swapped over. One of the things I hope this forum will help with is that maybe those of us weirdos doing these conversions can trade/swap/bargain parts that we need for parts we don't. I like the barter system and I love getting parts cheap when I can.
