ive looked into this b4 m8 and it is a HUGE amount of work to do the job properly, good luck if you decide to go ahead with it though

There was a green one featured in CF last year/this year, I'll check which issue when at home. Basically(well not so basic but)he used the sierra floorpan and fitted the shell to it, with big arches etc, rather you than me.

that green one,

he had a writen off saph 4x4 and just cut the body off it,

and then dropped a mk 1 shell top half onto it, he had to shorten the car a bit, to get it to fit and put a smaller tank into the boot for the fuel ect,

but when you opened the bonnet it had saph inner wings!

he also had to fit big wing arches to get the width right,

on the ramp it looked like a saph from underneeth, i know because i have seen it a when it was first done.

lost track of the car now so dont know its new owner or even if its still around,
