Default 5 speed conversion cost

Hey guys my brother has inherited a 93 eb2 wagon (previously mine) and wants to convert to a manual, does anyone from Perth,WA know where we could get all the bits needed at a good price and how much it should cost? He was quoted
$1200 for just the box from a wrecker, from what ive read thats a bit pricey right?

Any help appreciated Thanks.

1200 should easily get a full conversion.
perhaps try some interstate wreckers and get a freight price.

ahh well with a extreme 900kg orgainc fibre clutch and a lightened flywheel my conversion came to $2,000, which is a bit of a rip but meh its done now, thinking of selling and going back to auto, wouldnt mind a btr or a c4.
