In fact it will be very very easy IMO.

Here's the upgrade instructions for existing garages....

[ INSTALL: UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPGRADING AN EXISTING vBGarage INSTALLAION DB MODE] (Leave images in database)
(Backup your database and close your forums!)

1. UPLOAD the provided vbgconfig.php file to your forums ROOT folder
Set $vbg_use_fs = 0; to use the script in database mode
This is the default so there's nothing to do.

2. UPLOAD "upgrade_vbgarage.php" to your forums/admincp folder.

3. Execute (ex. http://www.yourforums.com/forums/admincp/upgrade_vbgarage.php)

4. Run the first option "vBGarage Upgrade - New Settings and Phrases"

5. Run the second option "vBGarage Utilities - Prepare DB for Thumbnails".

6. Run the third option "vBGarage Utilities - Create Thumbnails for DB".
(If you have alot of images in the DB this may be pretty intense on the server.)

6. Delete "upgrade_vbgarage.php".

7. UPLOAD "vbgarage.php" to your forum ROOT directory

Done!
