Oh not really a whole lot, you'll have to change the transmission, weld new
radiator mounting brackets to the frame (remove the spitfire ones). Use a
GT6 radiator, replace the bonnet with a GT6 one, replace the front
suspension uprights, springs, and to do it right, replace the brakes with
GT6 items. But other than that it's a snap!
