Default a project on my rs turbo

hi guys im new on here and just want some advice. I have a s2 rs turbo which i now have in a workshop as i detroyed the gearbox, whilst i was changing the gearbox i decided to take all the interior out and took upo the carpet. i then noticed that the floor was rusty in places. As it is going to need new floorpans and welding here and there i was looking at doing a yb cosworth conversion with a 4 wheel drive system. just wanted to know what people think and dos and donts.

cheers james
