cant help thinkin it would have been easier to build a space frame race car with all the panels attached as the only visible part from the original shell is the roof

Looking good mate, can't see your pics while I am offshore, the connections not very good, from what I can see it looks like you have a very good shell to start with! I thought you were going cossy though, will be nice seeing a fresh approach, welcome to the site and don't listen to beefy..........well when he's talking about me!

You don't fancy making a second sump to connect a Zetec to a 4x4 Sierra sump and selling it to me do you?

In fact I think I know a few people who would be interested so seriously think how much you would want for them.
