yes they do but this is why iv been moking the car up as right behind the clocks you have a beam to mod to get the speedo cable throw then behind that the shell has i big bilt in box box section very had to get throw and the speedo cable has got to get to the N/S any way so iv run it behind the dash and heater the broke out on the N/S and straight onto the side of the sump as it a 4x4 set up

list

weld the sills on
beef up the hand break
weld up the holes were the front cradle bolt on
weld up the holes inside were the ARB bolts up
weld up the holes in the floor were the shell has plastic drain bungs
weld up the under side of the front top mounts
flash all the welds with a grinder
get a cage and weld it in but if i do it i will need a new welder

then it might do time to do a bit of prep work
