Hi I did the Conversion to the Zetec.
Im thinking of doing a 2nd one for fun. It was fantastic. My westi has never been better. I will never go back.
I have pics on flicker not sure if im doing it right to link. If you want to see them or if they dont show up in the link let me know and I will see what I can do to
make it work.
Thanks Jonce
