IM not to far behind you its just a shit that its not at my house . but i cannt mone as its only 2 miles away

dingla rs

iTrader: (2)

yer my other shell 40miles away im working were it is tho if i need get any measurements

if you bolt gear box to block you'l get tunnel in line then, as it all bolt together

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

iv not got to that yet but there are holes on the tunnnel that i might use to measure from to the door frames and so on but i am trying to get my hands on a 205 block so i can mock it up as i have a 2wd and a 4x4 gear box the rear beam will be here this week so i can start to line it all up with all that stuff under there a lot better

andy130

iTrader: (2)

yeah but maybe the box could be closer to one side then it is to the other? thinking of doing this my self but dont want to make a balls of it

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

i no wot you are saying but if you bolt all the stuff togever and bolt the gear box to the tunnel as well it will all line up
