well generally theres only a little bit of weight gain i think so the handling is generally spot on if you have a decent suspension setup!

Fine has been absoloutley fine to use every day. Have done 20k in it since it was converted over 2 years.
Rarely off the road. Had a HG fail after the water pump broke, It likes to eat CV joints/Boots. Other than that look after it, keep the oil changed (Old engines) and Warm it up properly before ragging it. It will be good as gold then!

i had one for a few months,just had it rebuilt so never had much fun in it,
seem very reliable though
just make sure its a decent conversion thats done in the first place and there should be no problems
