   Most people source the parts and do it themselves.
   
   Give KrisB a shout on here. I don't imagine paying to get a 1.1 converted will be cheap though, because the brakes etc will need to be uprated too.

   most people buy the parts and then take it to certain members off here to fit it, as mentioned with a 1.1 you are gonna want to change the dampers/springs/wishbones/arb/brakes and preferably the drive shafts as well and if you have a three stud hub you will need to change to 4 stud which also means changing the rear beam, it could be done cheap if you found a vtr/s at the scrappy then id just strip it of the suspension/brakes set up
