seems i was wrong again. oh well, looks like a little more work than previously thought. anything else that needs modification that can be done when shell is bare and before respraying. i would hate to see the car resprayed and then have to cut and weld it. as previously said, i only gave chris this shell to avoid cutting out gearbox tunnel, with this in mind he should have kept to original plan and shell. the easiest way around this is 2wd running gear, not planned but a lot easier overall. i could just give him a complete 2.0 gt twin cam sierra i have and use that for now. thanks though for pointing this out. i would have been realy annoyed to think all spraying had been done and found this out when refitting which would have been a disaster. don't suppose chris would have been very amused neither.
