Are you talking about removing the whole floorpan from the S1?

I think there is a company in Sittingbourne, Kent that produce brand new floor pans for converting the S1 and S2's to 4x4.

It was posted on here a while ago but can't find the old post, sorry, but might be a good start for you.

The floorpan will hold the transmission and provide a place for the prop to run through yes, but there are still many mods to do, such as front inner wings, rear turrets etc. Depends upon how much floor plan your thinking really

TBH mate, if the guy doing the job dosn't know what to do, then he REALLY shouldn't be doing it in the first place. I know that dosn't help you but I feel its a fair comment.
