I think its a Kit job, if anyone does a kit, there are non commercally available!

I don't think there may even be a kit! I've taken a look myself and i've likewise had no luck. Simular looking unit available, class 166?

Nah 323s are nothing like 166s!!!!

They are, Networker style body, all as you would really need is a panto & a new livery IMO

Ons Flat ones fround it would be hard to modifiy the front end!

165/166 units are also 2.82m wide, whereas all other units are 2.7m wide.*
*Odd it appears that the 323 is 2.8m wide. Along with 319-322 units which are 2.81m wide.

Extensive modifications to windows and arrangement, new underframes, new cabs and slight shortening of the bodies make this alternative hardly worth pursuing.

And top add to all of that, i personally would spend 90 quid of a 166 jsut to rip it apart and convert it!
