I dont know if there are any kits out there or if there ever has been. I get the impression its a long winded process of obtaining the parts or you send your car off to someone who does it. I may be wrong but at one point im sure there was a guy in scotland that did conversions around the 30k mark. That was some years ago though.

I’ve seen that there’s a guy in the states that you can ship the car to. Very expensive with the transport.

I saw him as well, I think it was over £300 just for the rear vents from him, he has done a number of BTTF conversions.

I think everyone does it slightly differently and half the fun is sourcing the parts surely. If there was a complete kit I suspect it would be out of the price range of most.

I saw that someone made one that didn’t require any drilling into the bodywork. I think it was the Yorkshire owner. Could be put back to stock in around an hour. Looked the biz.
