Found anotherplace that would fit a standard skylinebox for 1.5k with me suppling the box!

But since i am an engineer and a fairly good welder i cant see any reason 2 pay some1 2 do it for me!
Plus it would be so much more rewording 2 build the car completely myself! Thats if i all holds 2gether afterwards!
The way i c it there is nothing majorly differcult about it!
1) Adapt floor for box 2 fit
2) Make bellhousing 2 mount skyline box 2 yb!
3) Get a custom prop made (skyline one shortend, with fitterment for ford diff!)
4) Hydrolic clutch kit
5) Recut hole for gearstick (been told they dont come out 2 far froom standard?)
6) Sort out front prop (no idears on this bit yet!)
7) sort out anywirring!
What else am i missing!
You've missed the clutch itself off the list and there's a chance that 'sort the wiring' might be a slight under estimate of what's involved in knocking a suitable centre diff controller up. And I assume you're aware that like a Cossie 4WD, the aluminium Skyline box case doesn't have a removable bell-housing?

Good luck if you go for it
