jamie , your going to have to cut the crossmember off mate as it wont sit the arches correctly with it in fella !!


we cut just behind it ,that way it retains the intercooler and rad mounts


and your going to have to shorten the floor section around 4 inches mate , you wont get away leaving the floor complete like that sausage ,


seriously fella, we done all the hard work , my 5 pnece worth would be

follow what i said above ,

unpic the top section of the bulkhead off the sierra ( battery tray section heater area ect ) and graft the vertical sections together ,

cut away ALL THE CURVE off the rst inner wings so there completley flat

cut them further down to closer to the front panel as well we joined mine just behind the headlights , bout 3 inches back from the front panel

cut the back section of the floor off where it goes up over to start the rear seats ,( this will make it eaiser to determin the end length , offer it in , and cut )


mines going to wennys on wednesday bud ,


please for fucks sake if you get UNSURE on anything ask me , ill help with measurements and piccys ,


dont just beast into it , its paramount you get it right , or everything will be fucked if you dont ,











please dont feel im trying to talk down to you bud , but advice is free .........




buying two new shells to start again because you didnt listen isnt lol .....




u know where i am ,
