about £3500 to be done by the pro's
if it was me i would buy one done but then a while back i did
i lost alot of money onit as well so be carefull there a lot of shit owt there
a lad from my way does it for £1700 all in proper job as well
you can get a decent enough engine etc... for about £150-£200 squid
then theres the shafts as you will no the list goes on

Loads of people on here have done conversions, at a guess it'll cost near £1500 for everything needed.
How old are you?

Might be worth selling your 1.2 and buying a ready done redtop.

I'd wait a little bit longer mate and get more NCB.
£1,700 sounds steep and I bet its only tpft, and by going from 1.2 to 2.0 you'll stand a bigger chance of slipping off the road and stacking into a field, and that means you'll get no insurance payout.

2.0 + NO powersteering =  No way!

Gary on here was interested in selling his GT (i think)
Look for his profile.
