good shell that matey so have you decided to go 4x4? makes sence when youve got all the bits ready to go.
if you are going to do it properly put the halfmoons in the front chasis legs i no some people say you dont have to but they are there for a reason.and the drivers side of the gearbox tunnel needs doing you will see this when you strip the 4x4.

good work keep it up.

While it's fresh on my mind your have some excess loom. Unplug the rear electric windows from the loom at the centre console that takes care of them. You also have to small looms that run along the doors for the c/l, e/w motors, door open warning and interior light. Either cut them out of the loom or coil them put and hide them. The p100 loom for the rear lights etc runs across the drivers door, I cut mine at the dash but on the saph I believe the rear lights run up either side so your need to take that on board as they will need 're-routing. Only other I notice is that your have no heated front and rear screen.
