745 Conversion Project Website Open

Well, after a few requests for this post, we are announcing that we have uploaded a website detailing the stages for our conversion project. We are converting a normally aspirated (B230F) 1990-745 (with the Regina system and an AW70L) into a vehicle using a sleeved B230FT, LH2.4 Jetronic Bosch system, and an AW71. We have all the parts now, and we are going to start stripping out the NA components tomorrow. There is not really too much up there yet, but that will change later this weekend and next week. The link is:

I plan on posting myriad images detailing the process, and once I can get a chance to do some real writing we will add some fairly verbose descriptions of the experience and the things we run into along the way. Just as a note, we plan on conducting stages 3-7 over the course of the next week and a half. The later stages may take longer. I will post when we update next.

Thanks!
Vos and Dick

PS: Yes, just buying a 745T would have been easier... But the complication is what makes it fun!
