it doesnt fit anywere near where it should due to completly different rear floor and suspension turrets and tubs :( should have thought of this really but heh have to make a bespoke one i guesse :mad:

have you not chopped a **** load of stuff out anyway ? maybe that goes to show how much the shell has 'adjusted' ?
and modding it to fit shouldnt be to hard

You should be able to use the main hoop and front part though surely ? Just buy some lengths of cds and make the rear bit up yourself.

I've used dyfed befor you shouldn't have a problem with them and the price sound good too
try ASD metal. they are cheaper iirc. not sure if there are any local...or if it would cost more with delivery.
