   Ok, so in a way it's not that hard... Jus swap the rack, fit a pump and reservoir, sort the wiring then pretty much job done?

   dont forget the the steering column and pedal box
   its my understanding the steering column for a PAS model is wider and wont fit thru the hole in the pedal box of the non PAS cars
