one thing i will say though its going to make painting and sealing the underneath a dodle

Thats a nice wee update! Are they old Roll cage parts?
One thing Ive never understood is how you go about sorting the gear linkage/selector position inside a car when converting to RWD/4WD, do you convert or get a box/linkage etc from RWD??

Front ends looking great Ste :)
