Good luck with the diploma Steve, got to do the important stuff first. I'm finishing my degree course in May 2020 so I'll have some free time to work on my car. I'll be expecting a detailed write up in the club mag that I can follow to convert mine.
Good on you - no need to rush these things and while it's sometimes hard to take significant time away from the things you enjoy doing, it makes the taste all the sweeter when you finally get back out there in it, with it done how you want and no time pressures. Time will fly
