Aaaa unbolting the big stuff is easy, getting the electrics to behave after will be fun. Good job you are swapping the engine, make the faultfinding mmore straightforward. Are you going for the full "Pedro"?
I'll be watching with great interest
Good luck.

Initially I thought red (dark metallic with a large fleck) but thought about it and gloss yellow on satin black seemed to stick out for me

[daza-b]

that does look pretty smart i must admit, spray the inner shell like a nice glossy black, yellow roll cage, black buckets etc could be a plan

Like Gok Wan, me, but with cars (and a preference for women)

haha love it! really in a pickle on sorting a rollcage out, thought about building it myself but dont know if i want to risk it, i mean i really dont plan on rolling it but hey s**t happens lol

[M-R-P]

So long as the welds are good and the anchor points are correct you'll be fine. Sure you'll find.plans on tinter-web somewhere
