nice install, and i love folk who do it themselves to get all the glory instead of shelling out fortunes and not getting a finger dirty. at least the folk on here who are doing these conversions are doing so themselve's.

nothing worse than asking someone at a show about a car for them to just talk bollox or pull a blank expression.

any full car pics before you started?
